I think this is a great point. Products succeed by doing well in a specific market and branching out from there to cover more use cases. RISC-V is not going to succeed in the Desktop / Laptop / Server CPU markets because the designs are nowhere near as specialized as what AMD/Intel (along with Apple I guess..) are putting out. Where RISC-V can show its value is in the IoT / Embedded markets. There are not high requirements for speed or efficiency, cheapness and ease of integration is going to win out there. If RISC-V can win in those markets the designs made using it can improve over time to take on markets with higher requirements.
