I am a huge RISC-V fan, like Cathy Bates level, but there is so much that ARM can do over the next 5,10,15 years but it looks like they are incapable of the required transformations. Everything that is good about RISC-V is already at ARM's disposal.
Currently it looks like SiFive was borne out of a solution for the organizational issues that plague innovator's dilemma companies. I am envious of SiFive's position right now. I hope they don't get swallowed by a dinosaur.
The only reason NVidia wants ARM is because they can't have an x86 license.
Apple doesn't care because they probably have an escape/hedge clause on their ARM license and they will soon be shipping an IR. They have ISA hopped so many times it is old hat to them.
