But by that logic Intel should be lobbying the government to outlaw every CPU architecture, or every competing product, or... every product they might conceivably want to compete with. The same logic works for every product! Or every company! It's all specious.

In point of fact, and I'll just say it again: this is dumb. Intel isn't remotely the most likely candidate here (again, my read is that on balance they'd love to see ARM competitors get some pressure on the other side). Trying to claim otherwise is just engaging in platform flamery nonsense. The logic doesn't work.
