My guess is that this is true as an accident but once they have real market traction they honeymoon will be over since it is very likely that the tools and software will have substantial bugs early on, not even including hardware errata; one of the Intel/AMD/POWER strongpoints is that they have huge verification libraries that RISC V vendors will not have. A slightly different memory model will also expose issues that happen to work on x86.
