> The real problem here is the x86 architecture

Even if we could say for sure that x86 has been disproportionately affected by speculative execution bugs (which already seems dubious), that could easily be due to a kind of selection bias. Presumably security researchers as a group more or less focus on the most popular and relevant ISAs/microarchitectures.
