Eh. Sometimes there are legitimate technical wins even for things that are otherwise problematic.
The TMo/Sprint merger has had issues, for instance, and I personally have been less favorable to it as time went on, but it didn't mean I wasn't excited at the time to see one more death knell for CDMA.
Also Nvidia has been pretty open-source friendly with their ARM platforms in addition to their being pretty powerful in their own right, and that doesn't have to be mutually exclusive with the concerns it would raise if they controlled the whole ecosystem of ARM platforms.
CDMA has died since LTE. Sprint worked on hybrid CDMA/GSM since they needed SIM cards.

Yes that is true, surprisingly so since fuck you nvidia. Intel and AMD have x86 rights and GPUs and can make more integrated devices, while nvidia can't. Since it didn't go through, they better be good at RISC-V!
