Might be, but that is the thing, while it is tradition to complain about Oracle, in many cases their are the only ones that show up at the door with the suitcase full of money.
So where are the others that supposedly are better than them?
In this case, Softbank will be having ARM and Ampere.
This depends on definition of "better". Maybe your question is better suited as "So, where are the others that supposedly are richer than them?"
In that case, we have the CPU manufacturers, which already do this as the business, Google, which is not that interested, or already make their own chips, Apple, which has an in-house CPU/GPU company, and probably IBM, which also designs and builds their own processors.
So, the only interested shopper in the vicinity is Oracle, and they happen to have the money. The others have the money, but not the interest.
I think the fear is that if Oracle was the purchaser, then that would be good for Oracle, but not necessarily the rest of the ARM ecosystem. Given Softbank’s ARM investment, it is in their interest to try to keep the ecosystem healthy.
