10th largest? Last I checked we were the 7th and that was just a few years back. Go back another couple of decades and for a brief moment we held 4th place just after Germany. I believe this decline explains most of what you are seeing.

This is not a niche, low volume IC. Its smaller brother is used (I should say was used) by DJI in its Lightbridge video transmission system (that you could find in the Phantom 3/4, that sold in the order of millions). And that's only one product I know of, I'm sure there are many other.

I would love to know how much DJI was paying for that chip, especially after they went to the effort or replacing it with an in-house one (no name Chinese startup) in more recent batches.

I've been hosting my own email server for 10 years until a couple of weeks ago, when I switched everything to gsuite. During the sign up process there is a step claiming "email just got awesome". That's as close of a description of my experience so far as you can possibly get. Email just got awesome.
