There's no meaning in wishing back the good old days when everything was x86. Microsoft should have simply done the transition to ARM much earlier. For years they postponed something that was inevitable.
They have THE dominant operating system for x86-based desktop PCs. Unfortunately their operating system has been limited to exactly those types of computers. That was no problem in the 90s, but the world has changed since and Microsoft had no idea how to react, because fundamental design decision like being restricted to a single CPU architecture are nowadays more and more becoming a burden and open systems are the laughing winners now. And you can't just develop a x86-CPU that has all the advantages of the ARM design.
The world has changed, and nowadays, for every x86-based CPU, about 10-20 ARM-based CPU are being produced if I remember correctly. Up until now, Microsoft had absolutely nothing in store for these devices.
