I don't blame Qualcomm as much as I blame Microsoft. They tried to use the transition to ARM to lockdown and smartphonize PCs. There were at least two attempts to bring out a restricted, store only version of Windows (Windows RT and Windows 10 S). But what's the point of Windows when you can't use the majority of existing Windows software? ARM and x86 differences are bad enough, but they had to artificially add more barriers.
