I agree that this deal is good for Nvidia only and will hurt ARM CPU usage.
Nvidia is right now not in the same league as Intel/Apple, but having the most successful consumer and corporate GPU business along with control of Arm architecture CPUs puts them in the same league in my opinion.
That kind of dominance is never good for consumers.
Having worked for a company that was acquired and became a daughter company, such a setup is not enough of a firewall.
Slowly, the acquiring company will modify internal systems and internal processes until there is not much left of the original company. And many key employees will leave as they don't identify with the way things are being done.
I would like to think that acquisitions can be a good thing, but that's not the case in my experience.
