RISC-V has a very strong value proposition that will carry it forward beyond what ARM or x86 can offer. The only place you can buy ARM IP from is ARM but you can buy RISC-V IP from anyone. That means it's one company versus many, potentially a whole industry. If you buy ARM processor IP you are locked in to buying processor IP from one company. With RISC-V you can change vendors and have several compete for your business at any point. ARM is already showing signs of being shut out of the future of the market. For instance Si-Five's X280 processor has found a rapidly expanding niche as a "companion processor" to custom AI hardware, something that isn't practical with ARM's narrow offerings or licensing model.
