Except that is exactly what happens on ARM, for example.

What proprietary ARM extension are you just dying to have?

Personally I don't care about RISC V's future, was just making the point things might not turn out as the comunity hopes for.

To reply to your question, as a developer I don't care about ARM vendor specific features, because Android hides them for me.

However as a consumer, they do impact updates.
