Not yet visible to the average consumer, but it is hardware and hardware projects take pretty much 5 years to go from green light to products in stores. There is a LOT in the pipeline ... projects, products, startups. Note that the forever "no incompatible changes" RISC-V base user mode and privileged ISA pretty much started with the publication of Priv arch 1.10 in May 2018, less than six years ago. It was ratified as 1.11 (mostly just documentation improvements, and minor tweaks) in July 2019, less than four years ago. The User mode ISA was stable already in 2015. Essentially July 2019 was the starting gun. RISC-V cores announced in late 2018 (SiFive U74) and mid 2019 (Alibaba THead C910) are just now making it into mass-production products at affordable prices, such as the VisionFive 2, Star64 and PineTab-V, Lichee Pi 4A. That's just normal hardware time scales. There is a flood of products in progress now and coming out over the next 3-5 years, by which time RISC-V products will be at least matching today's Intel / AMD / Apple performance levels. Those companies will have moved on by then, of course, but probably not far.
