RISC-V's big advantage is it's not a proprietary core like ARM is.
When you buy an ARM processor, you license the technology from ARM. You can do whatever you want with that core, but you're limited by both the types of cores that are available and the licensing agreement with ARM.
RISC-V is a core set that anyone can use without license. You can take as much of the core(s) as you want, depending on the power you need, without agreements or licensing.
While both of them accomplish the same goal, that of providing a high processing power with low(er) electrical power, they do it in different ways. ARM simply has the inertia here.
