Hi charred water; Re TI turning itself into an IP house...

Actually, TI still makes chips. Lots of them. But TI was the company who's actions made the IP business model obvious. The problem is that since they make stuff, they can't go with scorched earth negotiating tactics. They have to worry about having their own products blocked by obscure patents.
