They are similar. Particularly because developing on a corporate hardware with an ARM processor is a surefire way to figure out if the software you write will have issues with ARM in AWS.
That's pretty much the entire reason x86 took off in the server market in the first place.

Nope. Mostly just anecdotal. My company offers devs the option of either an x86 machine or a mac.
