Recall how Intel was dictatorial in levering the 286 architecture into all the LSI chips that board makers needed.
How Intel extorted the market price wise until regulators forced a way for AMD to compete and how the decline and fall of Intel thus came to pass?
Now think what could happen of Nvidia owned ARM, Apple would soon feel the screws. as would all the ARM using group as Nvidia would flay them to the bone to get that $40 billion it went into debt to get back so it can throw the money lenders off their back. Rates will rise, and the screws Nvidia would feel would go through them and into all their clients. Since it is a software-like business, it would not be easy for others to repeat what they did to compete.

Why would Nvidia be able to sell to Apple at a higher price than the price ARM is currently selling at to Apple?
