Apple isn't the only one, Oracle did it first with SPARC ADI on Solaris.

True. I was mainly responding to the ARM encrypted pointers part with that bit. ARM also didn't invent memory tagging, which might also have come from SPARC ADI (I'm not sure), but they also plan to include that. QARMA itself looks to be designed by Qualcomm engineers: https://eprint.iacr.org/2016/444.pdf

A lot of good stuff has come from SPARC :)
