Good point, but remember Apple license the ARM architecture from ARM (the company), and they probably aren't allowed to deliberately ship partially-compliant ARM hardware.

Apple is much bigger than arm and could easily change the rules.

They may be smaller, but they have IP Apple needs now. Apple just can't do whatever it wants to just because it's big.

They could buy arm, or offer enough cash until they capitulate.
