I must have missed something...what does Apple creating M-series have to do with Allwinner, Qualcom, Mediatek, AWS, and the rest of the ARM ecosystem having 'lackluster performance'?

Ah...it's "they haven't matched Apple" (not even Graviton?), not "Apple impeded them in some way". Fair, but that was not clear.
