Considering Microsoft finally added the x86 compatibility to Windows on ARM as soon as Apple launched M1 based Macs I don't think your comment will age very well. Slightly trolling here, sorry.
More seriously, the reason for dropping x86 is not Apple saying so but the fact that we've essentially hit the limits of Moore's law. You can't make transistors smaller than a couple nanometers. The only way to increase computing power is to marry all purpose processing cores with purpose-built cores that do heavy lif

What is with you Apple fanatics always wanting to re-write history to only make it look like Apple does anything in tech?
Here is some documentation from Microsoft about Windows 10 ARM being able to run x86 code in Feb of 2018:
