I’m not sure why you thought my comment was defensive. It wasn’t in disagreement with you. I was pointing out that legally, because of Apple’s founder status, they have more rights to modify the ARM core than, for instance, Qualcomm or Samsung.
As far as I know both all of the ARM chips that Apple makes are heavily modified to the point that it’s never been totally clear if it is a superset or not.
Ah, I may have misunderstood the intent behind some of your wording, my bad.
The whole issue does make me hope open standards continue to gain more adoption. One can hope, right?
Anyway, again, my apologies - it does sound like we're kinda on the same page here after all.
