I don't think so. It's more like it turned out that way with Freescale's takeover by NXP.
Whatever their name was in that given week FreeScale did try to keep PPC going for a few years after Apple’s Intel switch but that ended more than 10 years ago with everything afterwards just being old cores on newer nodes just to satisfy costumers still in that ecosystem.
Just like ColdFire for 68k in the late 90s and early 2000s.
