I sincerely hope RISV-V usurps this proprietary bullshit sometime soon. Simply paying the royalties to use the ARM spec costs tens of millions in licensing alone.
It took decades for ARM to start gaining desktop acceptance. It's probably gonna be a while before RISC-V is more than a blip.
RISCV would definitely be nicer but it's just a little early for it. Qualcomm have been using arm for ages so no doubt they're going to be more comfortable using that architecture compared to something that still doesn't have any support. It's going to take a while.
