I was thinking of tape outs when I wrote it, though again I think all those are true in the short term.

I guess we can argue semantics of what counts as "ARM", but Cortex-M sure isn't RISC-V so for the purposes of this conversation I'm inclined to unambiguously include it.

MIPS, Xtensa, and x86 aren't RISC-V, too, should we count them? ;)

It's hard to measure how big RISC-V is for vendor-specific SOC wins. There's clearly a whole lot of momentum. Performance and all of the new things ARM does aren't necessarily too relevant if you're designing a chip that goes inside a hard drive or whatever, but a few pennies a unit to ARM might be.
