Yea this is what I am wondering as well. If nobody else ends up switching to ARM in the laptop/desktop space and eventually AMD and Intel are making 5 or 3nm chips then surely this massive lead in power efficiency is going to close. At the current levels the new apple computers seem awesome - but if they are only 10-20% more efficient?

You do have ARM in Chromebooks. Any wholesale switch for Windows seems problematic given software support. But beyond gaming, a decent chunk of development, and multimdeia, a lot of people mostly live in a browser these days.
