Many codes can be expressed much better with Vectors and there is also much ability to further extend it in the future. You can do short vectors with the RISC-V Vector extension and you can implement them in a simply way as well. Have you worked with both or did you just form your opinion based on what you are used to? Again, RISC-V is not one thing, its modular. The 'V' extension is considered to be the right thing for most serious processors. However there is also the 'P' extension, for embedded that does Packed SIMD.
