Not the person you are asking but I would like to deprecate all SoCs, have generic ARM hardware, a kernel module approved by Linus for using a modular LTE modem the user can replace or upgrade with option-slots for different types optional devices based on the users needs wishes and desires. I should be able to plonk down whatever desktop Linux OS that tickles my fancy and it just works. There should be hardware modules and kernel modules for any network on earth. I should also be able to plug in any peripheral device that works on my workstations.

It should at LEAST be ARM (or perhaps RISC-V once it matures more)… but honestly it's just not going to be practical anytime too soon.

Good point, will edit.

You can write software for such hypothetical things but that’s clearly not going to map to any hardware vendors want to build / customers want to buy (and by customers I mean OEMs that pick which chips go into a product). There’s many reasons for this including price, battery life, size and typical upgrade patterns even in typical x86 land
