    It can be really bad for the industry if ARM is both a producer of chips and the gatekeeper within the ARM ecosystem. I don’t know if there are laws against this or loopholes through them, but what is going to prevent them from just withholding license or technologies to push competition out?

      I would think, in the US, antitrust laws would apply.

      Is this different from Intel and x86 architecture? (Genuinely asking)

        Or AMD as well. They make custom configs for clients (Steam Deck, XBox, PS5), as well as their own fish direct competitors.

        So yeah, RISCV?
