Qualcomm abandoned it when they became a target of an LBO.
It made sense for them to reuse their design expertise and hedge into other markets so that they didn't get stuck exclusively with trends in mobile devices. AAPL told their suppliers to withhold royalties, hurting revenue. And once AVGO took aim, they needed better focus. Centriq was a long term bet that could've worked out (cloudflare had a positive review) but it just wasn't in the cards.
