No, it doesn't.

Sometimes you do care and try your best but still lose to contenders. That's (business) life. You can of course always say they didn't do enough to keep their market share, but claiming they didn't do the least when they were continuously developing and releasing SoCs for these markets is certainly nonsense.
Btw, I think QorIQ has been more for routers than for printers.

Yes, but this wasn't Freescale not doing the least as you claimed.

I consider it strange to call a SoC intended for NAS devices a "NAS design" :-)

> They never really tried sell those SoCs

What do you mean by that? Can you be more specific? As far as I can see, they have been selling QorIQ P1 (from 2010) and LS1 (from 2014) SoCs explicitly for NAS.

Pipe dreams.
