Don't just give the extortionists more money

Or maybe they were just trying to pay a lot less money, and then they got caught at their little trick.

Do you know how much money you have to pay to make a RISC V chip? Even less than that, since it's free

Development is never free, especially, if you have to build new knowhow and can not build upon the one they have built at development of ARM chips.

If it's that's easy / cheap then why have they not?

This is a big ol' game of bluff from both sides. So, according to you, Qualcomm should call their bluff?

They would need a new core design

Wonder how long that'd take, hmm?

By that logic every company would just run on linux. Free to use ≠ free to implement and support.
