All Javascript based web apps run on ARM Mac and Intel Mac without any rewriting or migrations. Not even with a compat layer like rosetta. When a RISCV OS gets a major browser, then most people (not HN crowd maybe) will be able to do their day-to-day work on it.
Yes stuff from 2000 doesn't run today, and yes, its unlikely that web apps will age well, but it does change how people think about software for the average user. A sufficiently large people don't care about backwards compatibility, and apple's graveyard of un-runnable software proved it.
