The chip is designed purely for the purposes of comparison and 
evaluation.  It will let people get an idea of whether RISC-V or ARM 
will be the best choice (or if they are equally usable) in a 
microcontroller context.

I suppose NXP is hedging their bets in that they will make whatever 
chips people want to buy.
