It’s because it’s not an opportunity. When you are going after selling millions or tens of millions of units every year in cell phones, these chips at this point are old for them. A lot of tech in this chip was probably in a cell phone 5-7 years ago. So they’ve made their profits from it. Having it out in a few hundred thousand RPis won’t make much of a difference at this point.
