I think people would still see it as desirable but I don't know it would be financially viable to do so unless it gave them some kind of freedom from other manufacturers.
In contrast, imagine if a lesser mobile manufacturer, let's say Huwawei, announced their new mobile device was going to be powered by a chip they made from scratch. I don't think it's going to have the same effect.
