They already have an ARM license and the vast majority of ARM processors in existence are Cortex-M class microprocessors (i.e ARM pretty much owns the target market for RISC-V at the moment).
This means they're not looking at RISC-V for any technical reason (for which Cortex-Ms generally outperform RISC-V) but rather for strategic reasons (i.e. dependency on ARM/Nvidia).
