ARM doesn't even have an FPU (although it does have a matrix multiplier), so even emulating an x86 fir anything other than integer logic would be a challenge
"ARM" is not a processor, like "Intel" is not a processor. High-end consumer ARM processors (ARM9 for instance) have something called VFP, which is ... an FPU. Here is the wikipedia article.
Do you think iphone/ipad/android devices do their 3D computations using software floating point ? Are they doing that using fixed point ? You are stuck in the 90's it seems.

" Let's take two examples everyone knows: OGG/Vorbis. What's the penetration of this open and free format out in the music player industry? Zero"
I know you are just trolling, but just getting the fact straight : ogg/vorbis was read by my samsung 'mp3' player in ~2005/2006. It is also the format of Spotify streams. That's the two examples I've got right now, personnal experience, and it was not a choice of my own at all.
Another example, nearly every single professionnal (AAA etc etc.) video game you buy today uses ogg/vorbis (that's ... free).
You yes, you are indeed trolling. Or dumb. Or both.
