You are getting downvoted, but I agree with parts of your argument. The part that is perhaps missing is that reversing the microarchitecture or any complex system is generally not an end in itself. It is a prerequisite for more meaningful research. For e.g., building a simulator or finding side-channel vulnerabilities require a good understanding of the u-arch.
