Nowadays, I doubt that there is a huge advantage to having slightly more performant CPUs - companies typically would benefit more by incorporating custom requirements into the chip so that they can reduce chip count and size etc. Arguably Google has the resources to make their own performant CPU (with blackjack and hookers) without needing to use RISC-V anyway.
