Arm has an unusually high relevance/value ratio. As Softbank found out, you can't just ramp up the licence costs. It's also not as scalable as software and doesn't have the revenue of the hardware licensees. I wish it would be bought by an open consortium to protect the millenia of engineering hours from snatch-and-grabs like these or the tyranny of uninformed investors but FAANG et al passed up the chance to secure their computing future last time. They've been blessed with another chance, hopefully this debacle has been eye opening.

I wouldn't be surprised if Arm employees create more value for other companies than they do for Arm.
