This means that if Racket gets an Arm port, it is possible to use

Last time I tried a build on an Arm machine, it went through fine,
including the gui.
I'm not sure what Apple's userspace environment is like, since I can't
see it, but at least for Android, there would probably be a good
amount of work to port Racket to even a compiled app. The C library
present is kind of hand crafted just to meet the needs of Android and
is missing a lot of stuff. Gui stuff would have to be ported to the
Android-specific GUI library.
It is running a Linux kernel, though, so it certainly would be
possible. Google does provide a native development kit to help with
this kind of thing, so it is even a supported thing to do.
