Well, at least there are many independent chip providers, and that they use the same ARM architecture (i.e. detail design specifications, etc.) even has the advantage that tools and know-how are re-useable by the companies using these chips (and that each of these chip providers has the ARM detail design at hand is even an advantage compared to RISC-V, where "only" the ABI is open source); in contrast MS is indeed a single provider keeping the source code of most of its products closed (which virtually makes it a potential "single point of failure" for a large market).
