I don't think that's what stefan_ wanted to say. I think it's rather that RISC-V isn't effective enough (yet) to be suitable for scenarios where the main thing you optimize for is something other than cost (like heat dissipation, power use, performance, etc). For scenarios where these things don't matter, but cost is very important, RISC-V is the ideal choice.
