Actual impact is not sure, but I can speculate. Short term customers pay more for ARM. Long term RISC-V products just got relatively cheaper for high end and might see a BoARM to go along with Box86 and Box64 so compiled programs on android (Dalvik byte code programs wont need it) will 'just work'. I wonder if this had anything to do with Google making RISC-V Android version a thing. As long as a big percentage of the device cost is the CPU it should still be competitive.
