I would assume Nvidia bought (by obligation) those commitments too?

Otherwise it would be pointless having them in the first place, you'd just get out of it (if you wanted to) with some creative corporate governance.

Uhm, no...? The obligation was on Softbank, not on ARM.

... aand you've just "discovered" how large companies routinely get out of their commitments to politicians.

Plausibly the obligation on Softbank could require them, when selling, to require the new buyer agree to the same obligation.
