OK, so your arguments about it being less difficult/costly to have your
own version are very valid.

But it is still costlier than buying some off-the-shelf ARM processors
for your adult toys/phones.

Will be interesting to hear more about whether Apple was able to do much
more with its "own" chip than if it had bought off the shelf ones.
