Wtf are you on about? If "they score too high on an intelligence test" they get to go on to a bright career as a detective and/or rise through the command ranks. Police forces always need bright bulbs. The starting pay kinda sucks and the job is dangerous which is why they usually don't get the best & brightest.

Their licensing model isn't complicated. You either get a design license or you license cores/core families. Amazon, for example, is (or has been) using fairly bog standard Neoverse setups with small-ish L3. If they intend to license newer iterations of Neoverse then they will pay accordingly.

Anyone with a full design license (such as Apple) gets access to the entire version. Apple fairly recently updated to a v9 license (M4, probably others) so they're good for awhile. Each individual license may include exceptions, and of course ARM could leverage those for additional revenue opportunities if they can convince companies like Apple to agree to more-restrictive design licenses.
