Possibly, but historically it high end semiconductors seem to turn into a winner takes all market more often than not. If that’s the case it’s probably preferable to have someone like ARM at the top than Intel or Nvidia.

It's winner take all in a competitive scenario, maybe. Winner is all is what RISC-V is trying to make happen.

nope, it is would be better if it was RISC-V.

Why (besides religious reasons)?

I don’t see how can high-end/competitive RISC-V cores could be fully open/free and without that how is it better than ARM.
