Why are modern laptops increasingly using RISC-based processors like ARM instead of x86?

In recent years, we have seen a shift from x86 (CISC-based) processors to RISC-based architectures like ARM in laptops. Apple's M-series chips and Qualcomm's Snapdragon processors are examples of this trend.

I want to understand the technical reasons behind this shift:

What specific architectural advantages do RISC processors have over CISC for laptop use?

How has software compatibility (compilers, OS, emulation) improved to support this transition?

Have advancements in semiconductor manufacturing contributed to RISC’s adoption in laptops?

I am looking for explanations based on CPU architecture, performance efficiency, and software ecosystem changes.
