He sounds like a total moron because the next paragraph talks about how that secrecy lead to this chip being used for cable sets instead of computers until the Raspberry Pi. But pushing back the state of the art must be worth it for the stock price!

I think the main reason nobody else picked up these chips was because they're not really made for general purpose computing. Rather, many of the Pi engineers come from Broadcom, so it was probably more familiarity, price, and partnership that were the main drivers for it getting popular on the Pi.
