Precisely. You can't just boot up any arm image

This is true with ARM in general. There's no "standard Linux" to boot because every board needs its own device tree and set of core kernel modules for detecting important things like local storage. It's fairly intractable due to how different the hardware is.

I've heard this argumane before but that doesn't change the fact that some socs work out of the box and require no proprietary software or custom configs

Yeah for the majority of standardized hardware solutions sure. But the Pi is an one-off, as well as all the other single board computers. IANALOSD.
