What makes PPC so great? What advantage does it have over ARM or MIPS? Have freescale magically added all the features that ia32 and amd64 got ages and ages ago? Can they even get their designs running at clocks to be considered competition?
Which magic in ia32 and amd64 are you thinking about ? PPC is a modern and clean processor. If it was more popular, processors and compilers will be even better.
