People that control companies, CEOs, are mostly people hired by company’s share holders (ie: Steve Jobs). Due their position (they don’t really “own” the company) they do whatever it takes to keep their own job up: make the company make money as quick possible, mid or short terms.
RISC-V require a foresight to the future, where company spend more money now, but will get stuff for free in the future. The problem is in the CEO themselves: they are supposed to make “bleed” money to the company (risk to be fired) just to, hopefully, give the company free RISC-V and freedom… all while they don’t know if they are already fired in the meanwhile.
I’m gonna bet a lot of it is business. They could use a risc-v core, but that could require a lot more in-house expertise. Paying arm for a license also means you get a lot of support from arm on integration, performance, etc

If there is such a big push for power efficiency from RISC cpus, why arm instead of risc-v?
Companies would save a ton on licensing costs
