The Meltdown/Spectre class of attacks affect certain CPUs. Spectre is a microarchitectural attack on any CPU that does speculation and uses data caches, regardless of architecture.
Arguably, it has been handling Meltdown and Spectre in a much much more humble and transparent way. See https://developer.arm.com/support/security-update/compiler-s... for work they are doing with the compiler communities to address the Variant 1 both on current and future chips.
I tend to think it's because the folk who trade with stock very well know that these "issues" are actually features.
I can also bet that that "grilling" they get from US government is not about the mess the chip flaws are doing , it's about why the "flaws" were publicly announced.
Overeheared a smalltak about something similar in croatia couple days ago . I tought guy was drunk and bs-ing the waitress . Now I hope I bump into him again ;)
