Apple kicked Nvidia out of its product line a long while ago, after Nvidia tried to collect licensing fees on every iPhone sales for their GPU IP. They launched their legal actions with Samsung first, and it backfired spectacularly. [1]
I believe there are some higher ups who would not welcome at all a Nvidia takeover of ARM, and that's putting aside potential increases of licensing fees, or other actions.
I'm sure they have a plan B in place should that happen. Whether those hiring are it or not, I don't know.
