I mean, ARM is basically the only game in town when it comes to mobile chips. Combine that with nvidia's graphics technologies and now you've got basically the entire market for XR devices (I reject the use of 'metaverse' in this context) cornered.

It's one case out of many where suddenly a defacto market leader emerges with almost no room for other entrants, whereas at least without the merger device makers can source silicon from arm licensors as well as from AMD, NVDA, and INTC (soon-ish) for solid graphics components.
