I haven’t watched the video, but my lukewarm take is that duopolies suck and having only two real players in the x86 CPU market has never been good. I was happy when Intel re-entered the discrete GPU market a few years ago (I say re-entered because they had the i740 cards in the 90s) because it meant we finally had a real competitor to Nvidia and AMD in that market.
I know ARM is supposed to be the CPU architecture of the future, but man, I wish we had a modern day equivalent to Cyrix or something in the x86 space. More competition is good.
