Even Apple develops their own in-house ARM chips and cut off Intel.

Yep, Apple is all about vertical integration and walled gardens.

They would slay if the sold their chips for server use, though.

I do not think we could have 1TB ram inside the CPU for Server use. Maybe in 10 years, but not now. That is the big game changer of the M1/2 is that the ram is built into the CPU not needing a bus to move through. I believe it is as big of a leap in speed as spinning disk to SSD. Yes, it sucks for upgradability of ram, but the speed difference is by far worth it.

Lol, no they wouldn't. And there's more to a server ecosystem than just the raw processor, they'd have to develop and deliver a whole lot of servery shit.

And that’s going to lead windows to release better arm versions and maybe more losses for intel down the line.

Future Windows on ARM could be as bad as android smartphones are today with locked down boot-loaders and unsupported driver chipsets. God help you if your windows ARM chip is a Qualcomm one. You’ll never be able to update your pc after 3 years or install an an alternate OS on it. ARM is also owned only by a single company the x86 instruction set is owned by two companies ( intel and amd ) intel and amd would rather develop an open source RISC-V architecture then pay constant licensing fees to ARM

I wonder if Microsoft would be open to buying Intel...

Bad idea, unless you want to accelerate the trend of paying a subscription fee to unlock the full potential of the hardware you "own".

That's the perfect way to finally push me away from Windows.

Why would windows supporting arm better push you away?
