That's not exactly my takeaway, e.g. he says this in that interview which is pretty consistent:

> So if I was just going to say if I want to build a computer really fast today, and I want it to go fast, RISC-V is the easiest one to choose. It’s the simplest one, it has got all the right features, it has got the right top eight instructions that you actually need to optimize for, and it doesn't have too much junk.

Yes. Because it has less legacy, it is easier to build for if you are going for on scratch. The point is most code is the same handful of instructions.
