Why not? It's not like Apple will have anywhere else to go for the next 8 years. x86 cores are too slow and power-hungry for the foreseeable future, and building their own risc-V core will take... at least 8 years.

8 years sounds like an absurdly long time to retrofit a different instruction set onto an existing CPU core design.
