If an insane instruction set gives us higher performance and makes CPU and compiler design more complex, this might be an acceptable trade-off.

But it doesn't.

Its simply about the amount of investment. x86 had 50 years of gigantic amounts of sustained investment. Intel outsold all the RISC vendors combined by like 100 to 1 because they owned the PC business.

When Apple started seriously investing in ARM. They were able to match of beat x86 laptops.

The same will be true for RISC-V.
