This is a really nifty 'what it' to think about, but I don't think IBM needed ARM to have owned the world. They had/have POWER & PPC, and the associated development ecosystem, which gave them processor coverage from low-end embedded thru supers. They just needed to tweak their go-to-market to match the flexibility that ARM has given their licensees and it could have been a very different story.
