The technical advantages of ARM aren't _that_ great.
True - see also this:
http://codingrelic.geekhold.com/2010/08/x86-vs-arm-mobile-cpus.html
However, if x86 has neither a process or a compatibility advantage, then even a tiny technical disadvantage turns into a tiny extra cost, which can be important for high volume chips.

Here is Google's career ladder for software engineers: https://codingrelic.geekhold.com/2018/08/google-software-engineering-l…
Your typical engineer with relevant education and 5 years of experience is probably about L4/5.

> Android already uses the OpenBSD libc (IIRC)
It is a mix of code from OpenBSD, NetBSD, and FreeBSD [1][2]

It is not, it contains pieces of various BSD libc derivatives:
