But that's the problem with ARM. Hardware companies that do one-off
stuff, with no sense of compatibility.

And calling it an "opportunity" is just stupid.

There's nothing good about causing extra work just because ARM hasn't
had the sense to standardize on one (or a couple) of interrupt
controllers etc.
