Intel has already sold off their successful line of ARM chips ages ago and instead focused on domination via the x86 architecture (Which only Intel and AMD are licensed to make). I'm not sure Intel would want to also take full control of ARM chips regardless of Antitrust regulations. Whoever buys ARM can keep collecting the licensing fees, perhaps even increase the fees a bit. No platform is particularly tied to ARM in the long run, they just use it because ARM chips are cheap, fast and power efficient. If Intel tried to change the ARM licensing deals in monopolistic ways, then everyone would simply move to new chips. For example, Android has always been reasonably platform agnostic with their Java layer and Apple have been introducing platform independant binaries.
