So far as I can tell, people still call ARM RISC because it's load/store and x86 isn't (feel free to correct me on this, I'm not a CPU person), and ARM's instruction proliferation gets glossed over.
I do remember writing asm for the arm26 (arm2) chip in my Archimedes and that was definitely actual RISC, but obviously these days not so much.
