If Qualcomm wins, ARM will never make sweetheart deals for startups again.

They'll just make different sweetheart deals. The Nuvia acquisition was a great opportunity for ARM to shake down Qualcomm.

Or instead of "shake down", dare I say...strongarm?

From comments here, it sounds like if Qualcomm wins, the ARM/Nuvia deal isn't the problem, the ARM/Qualcomm one is. ARM probably already doesn't like to make broad licensing deals like that, but big customers like them, and ARM in the past couldn't afford to say no.

Good - drive them to invest in RISC-V instead.
