No making fun intended. I thought my tone was entirely factual. You might also be interested to learn that at around the same time Western Digital announced a plan to switch all their (WD and SanDisk) disk controllers to RISC-V, at (then) a billion plus cores a year https://www.anandtech.com/show/12133/western-digital-to-develop-and-use-risc-v-for-controllers https://www.anandtech.com/show/12133/western-digital-to-deve... And in December 2019 Samsung announced that there are two SiFive RISC-V cores in each Galaxy S20 (and presumably the matching Galaxy Tab) https://www.anandtech.com/show/15228/samsung-to-use-riscv-cores https://www.anandtech.com/show/15228/samsung-to-use-riscv-co... Just a few heavyweights using -- and announcing! -- using RISC-V in the times before most people had heard of it.
