One of the major accusations was that they asked too much of Madison for a single person to accomplish, and fired her over not meeting their expectations. While this is not great, it's not legally problematic.

It was marketed as $7 (I think), but it was never sold below $15 as far as I could find.

Also, since that price was without any profit margin, merchants only sold them in expensive bundles most of the time (with a case, SD card, etc).

Better marketing. It’s also easier to get a build pipeline for ARM than Xtensa and RISC-V.

That’s intentional. Apple knows they won’t win in the long run, so their strategy is to delay the change for as long as possible.

They didn’t need the army of lawyers to get license deals, so that’s not a fair comparison.

Good post. Also, in the case of GitHub, one major reason for me for using it is that this is the first place a potential employer will look at to see my work. They won't delve into the depths of a random git hosting service nobody has ever heard about.
