As a hobbyist I see this from a very different perspective. ARM documentation is overwhelming and ironically ARM is confusing as hell to read about due to its fragmentation into 32-bit and 64-bit ARM as well as Thumb1 and Thumb2. I don't have a great memory, and I really get lost when reading ARM tutorials and docs. RISC-V for hobbyist like me is just WAY WAY easier to deal with. There is a great consistency between RISC-V 32-bit and 64-bit which ARM lacks. There is just one compressed ISA and it maps to the regular one in straight away manner. Register naming is more sensible and consistent. ARM instructions with their complex addressing modes are not easy to read. ARM vector instructions makes your head explode trying to keep all the details in your head at the same time. RISC-V vector instructions are just way easier to grasp. In many ways it reminds me of the documentation situation with Python vs Julia. Python has more documentation for sure, but a big problem with that is all the stuff that is outdated irrelevant, combined with the difference between Python 2.x and Python 3.x although that has gotten easier in recent years. New technologies will always have less documentation but they often benefit from not having lots of legacy which complicates understanding. At least ARM is easier than x86, but that is a pretty low bar.
