And I expect you'd have to admit that if indeed there
were some IP reuse happening, then everything I said
which assumed reuse would be true.  Likewise, that
such reuse does happen even for simple stuff like
GPIOs (to facilitate reuse of program code ... even
on  the 8-bit micros you mentioned, I've seen it).

I don't think its assumptions. In this case it's a case of actually
looking at what these devices are in the real world. Hence 'reality
check'.

Sure there are plenty of 're-usable' components that appear everywhere -
Designware etch turns up in everything but this isn't one of them.
