"Masayoshi Son lamented that his entrepreneurial knack would be wasted as SoftBank shifted to a full defensive mode to cut losses"

That is an astounding claim from a person who has lost $17 billion by making investments in things like Wework, Uber and a pizza making robot company.

If they're going to go all in on ARM, maybe they could start a skunkworks to get full Linux support on their licensed hardware? This would increase its value to everyone as it expands its usability.
