ARM is no saint either. The problem is that when you have total control over the key IP at some point you become prone to extracting more money out of your customers through various forms of coercion. The advantage of moving to RISC-V is that no one owns it and you can always leave your IP vendor for another one. Because RISC-V is an attractive ISA it's having an anti-fragmentation effect, creating a popular standard and an industry around it.
