The V in RISC-V represents iteration of the ISA, over the last 46 years, most of which occurred in the US, mainly at Berkeley.

Your comment is appealing to fallacies such as it being old so it's good or that it was made by a prestigious university. It's not like those early iterations were commercially produced and they learned off of real world usage. For the people who criticize the ISA, saying that it is old will not change their mind.

They push it to save a couple nickels per core on the ARM licenses, not out of nationalistic fervor.
And it is the Chinese doing it because virtually 100% of all chips are made in China and Taiwan.
