We currently have an all American oligopoly on the CPU market - Intel, AMD, Apple(ARM) and Qualcomm(ARM).
There's hardly any non-American CPU designers out there

I'm not sure why Arm is in parenthesis twice, when it's a full-blown, non-American CPU designer on whose coat-tails Apple and Qualcomm have been riding.
Risc-V moved HQs to be a non-American CPU designer, but perhaps you don't find them credible (yet).
Apple and Qualcomm only use ARM ISA at this point.
And no, Apple and Qualcomm are the standard setters in ARM these days. Should they drop ARM for something else... ARM will be on the same trajectory where MIPS ended up.
RISC-V is just an ISA standard, the standard body is not a CPU designer in any shape or form.
