I can't possibly be the only one astute enough to see your blatant attempts to play a straw man for what they are, can I?? I'd bet dollars to donuts you have the same IP address as the person you appear to be arguing with...
I think it's safe to say that if a modern RISC processor were manufactured using Intel's latest process tech and given an x86-comparable number of transistors (how many are in Haswell? Or Vishera?) and put to use running a "bare metal" app that was optimized to take advantage of the architecture, it would blow the doors off the equivalent x86 solution.
However, in the real world, x86's flexibility and versatility (including the plethora of developer tools available) win the day.
I see you read The Songs of Distant Earth. FYI, you probably don't want to consider that a how-to guide; we need to work on our FTL capabilities before we start expending our [oh-so-precious] resources trying to colonize the galaxy on a ten-million-year timetable.:)
It's entirely a moot point: any potential "criminal ramifications" would be dwarfed in significance by the PR backlash if it were determined that these accusations were valid. I'm guessing they're not, simply due to the fact that:
A) Uber has already been called-out for fucking with Lyft in this fashion (whether there was any veracity to those accusations, Uber was already "tried and convicted in the online court of public opinion") and is unlikely to be dumb enough to continue to employ such potentially-risky tactics, and...
B)...to the best of my knowledge, Uber is only competing with Lyft in the "low end space" (in other words, UberX - which probably isn't long for this world anyhow, given its complete lack of "regulatory approval") while their "real service" (UberBlack/UberSUV) doesn't even compete - again, to the best of my knowledge - with Lyft's offerings.

Let's see: the Maldives laying chemtrails across the sky (to increase atmosphereric reflectivity), while the Russkies generate all the CO2 they can, in an attempt to thaw-out the methane deposits... sounds a little over-simplified, truth be told.;)
Mind you, if you were to include mainstream media as a branch of the government (which would not be unreasonable, at least from the perspective of someone who has a good idea how things actually work), then your statement would have been a lot less inaccurate...
The US federal gov't has tremendous credibility with most of the population.
Oops. You were actually doing quite well until you screwed-up by blurting-out the above load of nonsense: as gullible and dumb as most of the population is, Uncle Sam hardly has "tremendous credibility with most of them."

That's easy: maintain compatbility with fucktons of legacy code; arguably more of which exists for x86 than every other architecture combined...
Not that all men walk around planning how to keep the ladies down, it's more insidious than that
That, right there, was where you let slip the mask of rationality and/or credibility.
