I have very mixed feelings about RISC-V since the non-profit organization moved their headquarters to Switzerland after taking a bunch of US tax dollars and grants to develop it at UC Berkeley.
With how things are going in the US right now. I'm not mad about people moving certain groups out of the country. I'm sad, but not mad.
Note: I know the reason they moved to Switzerland is unrelated.
It's an open source platform: if an american company makes and arm device, they need to pay tax to a British company. RiscV require not to pay IP tax to any foreign country.
Also, it's not like "they move": stuck there in the US, they would simply shut it down. So I don't see how your tax money went in better use.
You clearly haven't been to the us in a very long time
