I think more than the technical merits of RISC-V, the appeal lies in the fact that you are not locked in to a core vendor and the software tools ecosystem.
RISC-V has commoditized the cpu.
It doesn't need to be orders of magnitude better. Even if it is at par or even marginally worse, people will start using it.
