Binary Sunset. Luke staring pensively out into the distance as he considers his place in the universe and where it may or may not go. I’d be staggered to find anyone who can’t relate to that.
A key factor is LINUX has been available for ARM since nearly "the beginning". Unlike Windows, which was basically Intel only for well over a decade, LINUX has had strong support for multiple architectures throughout its lifecycle. As a result, software that grew up within that ecosystem tended to be more agnostic in design which helps porting efforts.
Your analogy to Google is flawed. Google links to content on other sites. Lemmy sites host distinct copies of content on each instance. While the communities aren't @lemmy.world communities the content is 100% hosted on Lemmy.world by nature of federation.

All this post. Hosted on three completely different instances, with different admins. "It's not actually my community" doesn't work in the Fediverse.
All humans are imperfect.
They’re implementing new chat infrastructure and only replicated 2023/01/01 forward. It’s in the article.
Well said.
Apparently "something" goofed things up with regards to the tallies with the 18.1 updates. Noticed a script that reconciled things published to Lemmy Support this morning for a short-term fix. Whether there will be a great reconciliation baked in to the system or not, in the future, remains to be seen.
Nailed it.
The application doesn’t, which is a very good thing, in my opinion. Instance admins will still have that data but that’s limited to your local administrator. It’s not federated.
As a small instance, defederating from Threads could do more harm than good. Denying users access to a potentially large amount of content could cause them to move on.
If you’re concerned about them slurping your content, don’t be. They can just easily set up an instance at billjoejimbob.com and slurp it indirectly. They very likely already are.
And who helped. Via the database on my instance I can tell I was about the 8th person in the federation to upvote the original beans post.
Not particularly useful knowledge but I find it fascinating, nonetheless.
