Right, but with RISC-V you can actually have some competition to implement RISC-V between multiple vendors, hopefully driving prices down.

I am not convinced that competition is always a good thing here: lots of competitors lead to shrinking margins. This means less money that can be invested into innovating by the respective companies.
