Intels entire strategy was force everyone to use intel everywhere using coercion then do precisely fuck all for 10 years then at the end of those 10 years try to charge CPU DLC and accidentally releasing a good value CPU which people were having too much fun overclocking so they disabled the overclocking. There was no incentive to change they have a total monopoly.
AMD seem more geared towards entering the server market to unseat intel and the continued dominance in the gaming console and handheld market so APUs are the focus. Apple annoyingly always seems to be a market leader so nobody would have made something like the M4 macbook air until after apple makes it. Well the rest of the industry will try to anyway but fail because windows is never gonna be anywhere near as efficient.
I feel like Linux with more investment into intelligent power management could probably compete with macbooks but the laptop power management side of linux is kinda doodooass and windows is windows. Its ok intel can have another crack at intel atom heh
