It’s not RISC-V ‘gunning’ for RPi, it’s certain SBC manufacturers who think that a RISC-V board will enable them to compete with RPi.
It may, but the success of these boards will largely depend on other factors. RPi has succeeded because of their clear focus and really strong execution.
It will probably disappoint many but having a CPU with an open ISA isn’t going to be an overriding factor in determining whether any particular SBC succeeds in the market.
