It's kind of puzzling that Apple didn't buy them. They don't seem to be particularly aggressive/creative in the M&A department

They have a perpetual license. What value is it for them to buy ARM?

Many of Apple's direct competitors are ARM customers, and US politics is already turning a large anti-trust eye towards FAANG. That might have been a factor.

Apple buying arm would never get approved. They have way to many direct competitors that heavily rely on SoCs that has arm cores.
