Yeah… folks who think this is just some easy to avoid thing should go look around and find the processor without branch prediction that they want to use.

On the bright side, they will get to enjoy a much better music scene, because they’ll be visiting the 90’s.

IBM Stretch had branch prediction. Pentium in the early 1990s had it. It's a huge win with any pipelining.
