RISC-V started with the simple core to bootstrap software and cover many initial workloads. But RISC-V will add extensions for more advanced features because many core will need them. Saying that RISC-V is boring is a bit unfair because there is lots of interesting work done in terms of the Privilege Architecture, Vector unit, trusted execution and so on. Those will all be part of the RISC-V standard.
