Don’t ampere and graviton already meet those needs?

    Not really.

    Ampere's for servers; if you have the cash to blow, you can get a fancy workstation, but not a laptop. It's really a shame; I think Ampere might be able to do well in the consumer CPU market if they wanted to face Qualcomm (and assuming they can get their single core performance up). A lot of their hardware seems to follow standards pretty well.

    Graviton is only used internally inside Amazon and not sold to customers.

    The only semi-decent ARM laptops you can get right now are Snapdragon ones, some of which kind of support Linux but with a lot of caveats and obnoxious quarks.
