Yes, but that's because Qualcomm and Samsung are about as incompetent at CPU design as early-2010s AMD was; their products have been 3-4 years behind the leading edge for the past decade.
This might change with Qualcomm's acquisition of Nuvia, but they're still going to take a few years to be comparable with what you can get in a 400-dollar iPhone/iPad and be unavailable in the sub-1000 dollar Android market (just like the Snapdragon 888- whose performance is on par with the 2nd gen iPhone SE- is today).
