"to speed up its expansion into the enterprise software business." Why does a chipmaker want/need to expand into enterprise software? Shouldn't they be expanding to making different chips?

Yep, that's Broadcom's business model ... buy a business (VMWare), ignore its smaller customers, upsell the Fortune 500 on the product (VMWare) to push out competing solutions, and keep the line items on those Fortune 500 bills growing. It's worked for them I guess. I left a Broadcom acquisition before the takeover.
