Not disagreeing with your core point on the architectures but there are a few other areas of possible advantage:
- No 32 bit support
- Fewer other legacy ISA features to support
- big.LITTLE style efficiency/ performance cores (until latest generation Intel)
On the first two fewer transistors wasted mean more to spend elsewhere (eg on caches).
