ARM actually has a pretty good story for how they can undercut RISC-V prices in that they can design the ISA rather than accepting the decisions of a committee. That committee used to make good choices, but things like the vector ISA seem more suspect.

The general consensus I've heard is the vector extension is good? I do agree the design by committee is less than ideal, but the ability to add vendor extensions at all is nice for certain markets.

The vector ISA seems alright to me. Particularly compared to Neon, but even compared to SVE.
