There is a push from apple, microsoft and google to make it go away. Because they want unform aps across desktop and mobile. The idea is to make ARM or RISC-V processors as powerful as x86, and then use those on desktop. That would enable developers to only ever program one app, since both desktop and mobile would be using compatible hardware.
