Does anyone care about blaming / lauding an ISA without any connection to the actual devices that people use?

Performance and battery life are lived experiences. There’s probably some theoretical hyper optimization where 6502 ISA is just as good as ARM, but does it matter?

In this thread, it does. You are moving the goalpost by making this about "actual devices", when the topic is ISA efficiency.
