Per @ericlaw, I may have been confused about the question!
I thought you were referring to the Cortex A12: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_Cortex-A12 …

Doing more costs more -- die size is real $$$ -- so everyone has an incentive not to do more. So Androids (and other non-Apple ARM devices) remain structurally behind. Modern cores, starved of cache, structurally under-performing.

I don't get why MSFT isn't trying to apply some pressure here re: Surface. This imbalance is playing out in premium tablets too. Maybe it's another agency-theory + volume issue? Intel has a "solution" so long as you compromise your design: https://www.windowscentral.com/why-surface-uses-intel-vs-qualcomm …

Some of it's almost certainly just cost of the SoC and profit margins too. What's Samsung's incentive to move to a more expensive SoC (with a larger die and more cache) and reduce their profit margins? Will they get that much in the way of extra sales to justify that?

This is where the tech press is really culpable. Incentives come in lots of forms.
