Just to chime in, not saying that maintaining a consistent state between
architectures is an easy thing and presents no problems, but Debian is
the only distribution that supports all these many architectures. This
has the *HUGE* benefit of making the life of those of us who actually
run quite a few different architectures, to have the same distribution
on all our machines.
So, from my point of view, there aren't too many architectures.
Actually, the fact that Debian runs on so many architectures is in the
top five reasons I'm a Debian user.
