Anything capable of fast C interop (so no Go and Java for you, good riddance) is free to use Accelerate. The reason Apple went with AMX first was that SME was not ready at the time, and they did want to have that. Once SME became available, they readily exposed it, as can be seen in M4, using the same hardware blocks underneath.

I'm not here to defend other anti-competitive practices by Apple but as far as just their CPUs go, there are none in that area.
