Well, "strong companies like IBM" didn't want to try competing with
Intel, so your nirvana scenario is simply conjecture.

I am entitled, however, to comment on your sometimes-ridiculous

Gosh, I guess they should never have even tried to compete with mighty
Intel. Better to not try at all, because you might not succeed.
