What software absolutely needs the x86 performance from the user and programmer perspective? Why can't we switch to ARM even if it was ~4 times slower but much cheaper?

From user perspective anything, even a 1Mhz game with no pause will be real-time, but at video encoding will be noticeable delays.
ARM still has performance gap for concrete number crunching, but not for interactive stuff like games, which can be optimized to run even on Raspberry Pi.
