Qualcomm also design their own implementations of ARM (e.g. the current Kyro), though they do definitely ship some things with ARM designed cores.

While Kryo used to be fully custom, lately it's been based off of the Cortex designs. I'm not just talking about the low end SoCs, but even their high end stuff. Anandtech usually has details on this.

Right, it's now a derivative design (as was Scorpion, AFAIK), though how much that matters is questionable (Apple got good perf gains over the Cortex-A8 in the Apple A4 despite it being a derivative).

Samsung too (Exynos M1-M3). I think Qualcomm designs are heavily modified Arm designs, though.
