I agree with you. If you read the original presentation by Dave Patterson that introduced RISC-V, the idea was to unify disparate architectures ( microcontrollers, DSPs, CPUs) to unify their software ecosystem (compilers, optimizers, debuggers) to facilitate and accelerate development. I don't think that goal has yet been achieved. Instead, as others point out, we've seen a plethora of offerings from cheap vendors dodging the ARM "monopoly". In the AI space, established vendors like Nvidia & AMD have no incentive to overhaul their entire stack to RISC-V. It's a huge investment and risk for unknown returns. Disruption will have to come from outside, but it'll be a while before we see Nvidia dethroned.
