Maybe it simply doesn't economically make sense for Qualcomm and even less so for Samsung. Their SoCs equip a lot more entry-level or mid-range low-margin phones, compared to Apple. There might be the need to make more powerful, desktop-class SoCs in the future if Google and Microsoft push for that. But I imagine the real competition will come mostly from the server market for now. Unless Nvidia starts making beefier SoCs, maybe the upcoming Orin.
