Apple would not get antitrust approval (iPhone maker controls all android chips????). So that’s why.

Were it a serious enough threat to their ARM license, they'd find a way to buy ARM and keep it independent.

Exactly, Apple is already straddling the line (and imho way past it) on anti-comp laws.

I'm not defending Apple, just thinking that can't we say this for many of the biggest tech firms? They are way past the line on anticompetitive business.

Yes, Apple is not alone in this. Google is another example, and they are very aware of this and are acting very carefully

What is their monopoly or which of their competitors are they colluding with?

Neither of those are required to violate anti-trust laws.
