It's probably not "concerted"... more of Google and Microsoft doing damage control because of the expected Apple ARM domination of the near future.

Damage control of what part exactly? Are you implying they will make in house chips that go toe to toe to the A* in the near future or that Apple is going to start selling it's main hardware lead to competitors in the near future?

Without either of those it's not much of a "damage control" response as it's the same Qualcomm family of devices Google and Microsoft have been using for the last decade.

Apple's lead over Qualcomm & others in fast ARM chips should have the opposite effect, no?
