But on the other hand they didn't have many other viable options did they? Their expertise is ARM and they need a BigCo to back their R&D and subsequently manufacturing. So that leaves them with Nvidia and Samsung as options.

No, I think they could survive independently on VC funding.

Having read HN I got the impression that VC funding isn't always a good thing either. How is VC funding at this level better? (It might well be I just don't have any insight.)

I don't know which route is better (clearly the Nuvia team decided to accept the acquisition) but I think independence would have been possible.
