Qualcomm hasn't been able to "just make bigger ARM chips with more high-perf cores" and destroyed Intel for many years now - and not for lack of trying to displace Intel in the laptop market. Same with other ARM manufacturers. Apple did something unique with M1. I don't know what it is but at their current rate of improving in-house silicon the M2 is likely to be the best performing single thread chip in the world regardless of company, architecture, or power envelope. And that's not done by being the same as everyone else except the clever idea to "just make it bigger".
