We shall see how this plays out in the market. However, currently RISC-V competitors are RISC-V along with the established market options. Resources are finite, and everyone's pet use-case will probably bleed this ISA to death sooner or later.
Currently, RISC-y offers few advantages over ARM8/9 ecosystems in the consumer space, and while that may change someday... few will likely notice in the mess of options already spamming the community.
Indeed, groups tried to consolidate a viable standard subset (even an ISO proposal), but these will also likely fail given it contradicts peoples pet use-cases. Note, the silicon fab business is about sustained sales of replicated standard product, and not clown volumes of 100k bespoke chips.
"Letting the dog drive..." product design was also unwise. =3
