Many here wish for the non IP-locked RISC-V to get performant micro-achitectures for embedded/server/desktop/mobile that on the latest silicon process (without that, you can have a very good micro-architecture, that won't probably make the difference).

If some RISC-V high performance CPU manufacturers are being bought by big hardware actors: either they are scared of its competition and want to scrap it or they want to be part of RISC-V.

False dichotomy. They are also quite possibly aqui-hires which then put the good engineers unto actually useful projects.

This is another way to say they are scared ofe competition and want to scrap them.
