I'd imagine that if Google were to ever start deploying ARM servers, it could be a big boon. Amazon Web Services and Oracle Cloud already have ARM servers available, and Azure is supposedly working on their own ARM chips, wouldn't be that much of a stretch.

It doesn't need to be public facing servers. It could be also for internal uses such as the storage nodes or YouTube transcoding (which has custom decoding/encoding HW as well). I doubt they'd keep the Tensor subsystem for applications like those, though... Except perhaps for YT, where one day you could feed models with frames as they get converted.
