Before anyone gets too excited, they’re going to use RISC-V for watches and such (Wear OS), but it’s still a big step towards having Android phones use RISC-V and major adoption. Maybe RISC-V is closer than we thought!

Aside from furthering the development of the architecture (I assume they are contributing and not just taking), It’s meaningless as Qualcomm couldn’t give two shits about open source chip documentation for the chips they release. I’m only interested in a native Linux phone. Meaning no BSP garbage.
Yet another example of leeching off of open source and not giving back anything meaningful.
