M4/M7 was already making convincing arguments against TI/ADI DSPs. If you went and replaced the DSP block inside the ADAU chips (integrated codec + DSP) it would be even more convincing. The tooling for proprietary DSP ISAs sucks, and with the dominance of ARM and available toolchains for cross compiling various languages over LLVM on basically any OS, it's just so much nicer than dealing with whatever garbage, dated, and poorly documented toolchain/IDE that they charge you to use for their ancient designs.
