Have you actually looked at what the realistic performance advantage is 
on something like a Tegra2 between running armv5tel and armv7hl for a 
typical desktop workload? It's not all that much. Not to mention that 
the GPU drivers and proprietary DSP libraries for most ARMs (the closed 
ones since there are no open ones) are only available for the soft-float 
target.
