My own conspiracy theory: Since Nuvia is led by former Apple engineers and Apple doesn't want Qualcomm to have a toe-to-toe fight, Apple pressured Arm to either keep getting the high premium license fee from Apple and destroy Qualcomm and consequently relationships with all other licensees (which includes but not limited to Qualcomm, Samsung, AMD and even embedded market), or Apple would move away and start their new architecture in secret and ditch ARM architecture in long term just like Apple ended its course with x86.
This is a very good news for RISC-V and with the recent news of Android RISC-V port upstreamed to AOSP [1] I will say 2024 (not until 2023 Q4 I guess) will be the year RISC-V starting to explode.
