Former Intel CEO Paul Otellini was the one who initiated the decline of Intel, before he died in 2017. He didn't want to invest/research in low-power mobile CPU for smartphones and tablets. That's why crApple went with the ARM architecture for their iPod, iPhone, iPad and are now designing their own SOC.

RIP Intel.

The decision of one man changed everything. How could such a huge corporation not see the mobile turn and embrace it?

I'm not sure. By the early 2000s it was fairly obvious that mobile devices were the things of the future, and technology (doing what technology has always done) would progress. You would think that, even if he hadn't forseen the smartphone revolution, that they would at least want to try and get something together that could power phones in general.

Perhaps he did see that, but thought "x86 will be here forever" and didn't want to bother.

Maybe at his age, he just didn’t appreciate that global shift in computing needs?
