Well the original article is also about RISC-V isn't a great ISA for embedded either, and how that's supremely disappointing because there's no inherent reason why the designers couldn't have learned from decades of ISA research and made it suck even a little less. OP doesn't even defend the ISA committee (unlike HN, somehow...)

As much as people complain about warts in other ISAs like x86, their design decisions made sense back when they were made (or at least, no one really knew better)
