"I don't understand how they will hold either one in the long run against the expanding ARM ecosystem" Well, the hallmark of embedded is that some designs stick around until parts can't be sourced any more. I've worked on a lot of projects which were in panic mode because key components had a final buy issued on them and they were caught flat-footed. And they always seem to be caught flat-footed despite years of warning... Got caught up in some web projects. I have become a True Believer in the power of LAMP stacks and web apps. They are cross-platform, scalable and can run on almost everything these days. There is a major paradigm shift in the making as the Internet moves from a server/client architecture to a peer to peer, fully distributed model that can reach down to very small machines. Instructions sets don't matter any more. It is all about functionality per dollar. And that is a huge advantage for ARM.
