Do you have source for the claims? I doubt especially of free parts. As of rumors I have heard about Broadcom it is extremely "capitalistic" company. If you move a lot of chips price can go down a lot (due the fact that NRE divides to more units). The cost of chip manufacturing alone is not that big - example Apple A14 bionic chip was estimated to cost 17$ to manufacture [0] and it should be waaaaay more expensive than anything in RPI.[0] https://www.idownloadblog.com/2021/01/07/iphone-12-bill-of-m...
