Its not just about price, its about control and time. ARM could make their product much cheaper and people might still pick RISC-V simply because dealing with ARM and getting a deal is quite difficult.

If you need a simple chip, and that's large parts of ARM sales volume there are free chips that you can fully control and its hard for ARM compete.

That said, the idea that ARM will go bankrupt is insane. Of course they will not, the market is not one big market but lots of small once and ARM has a massive head start in all of them.

I see no issue with both ISA existing for quite a long time. ISAs are like programing languages, after a certain size, they can not die.
