On AArch64 I think it's cheaper because losing one register doesn't hurt as much, since you've got twice as many.

nitpick: it's the number of physical registers that matter more here, not ISA registers

Why wouldn't the lower ISA register count lead to more spills, regardless of the physical count? Is store forwarding really that effective?
