Also non-ancient ARM chips add the movw and movt instructions so you can load a 32 bit constant simply in 2 insns rather than having to play games with sequences of arithmetic insns or use a constant pool.

I accept this point and admit to be a little bit biased, since I learned a lot about ARM disassembly by reverse engineering code that runs on an ARMv5 ("ancient" by your standards) core.
