My point holds even if they started earlier, companies such as Samsung has their own chips and they could also put notebooks on the market.

Why would Samsung do that? They have no sweetheart ARM licensing deal, they make more money selling their fab space to other customers.

Softbank could extend more generous architectural licenses to these businesses if they wanted to stimulate ARM PC sales. But they don't, so now we're here.
