Yeah, but Qualcomm doesn’t control Android or any of the phone makers. It’s hard for large corps to achieve the internal coordination necessary for a successful ISA change (something literally only Apple has ever accomplished), but trying to coordinate with multiple other large corps? Seems insane. You’re betting your future on the fact that none of the careerists at Google or Samsung get cold feet and decide to just stick with what works.

Wouldn’t coordination to change ISA between multiple companies receive heavy scrutiny in the Lina Khan era?
