Well, no, you're not going to be etching CPUs into silicon wafers in your basement, but it could massively lower the barrier to entry. Small startup companies being able to design processors that could compete with the likes of Intel and AMD would be a pretty big improvement.
You could learn how to design a RISC-V processor if you really wanted to. You can't learn how to make an x86 processor that doesn't infringe on Intel and AMD's patents.
