So on mobile this link just took me to a Wikipedia page with absolutely zero context. Am I missing something?

What about 'em?

Space is cheaper than ever. There two "competing" architectures (arm vs. x86). NetBSD has solution the distinct platform compilation problem.

What is a compelling argument against having fat binaries everywhere? Especially given tools that can unpack/strip/lipo to the right architecture.

NetBSD isn't mentioned in the wiki article at all. You appear to be using wiki to support an argument that you haven't made?

A little context could go a long way here.
