Yeah, absolutely. Personally, when I zoom out, and look at the trends of engineering in general: simpler modular systems that compose well together vs bespoke solutions, RISC-V precisely follows the trend. Reduce global state. Make it easier (for humans and algos) to reason about control flow. Have a simple core with optional extensions. This all makes building multi-core solutions way simpler. We are fast running out of transistor density improvements. But we are getting way better at building coprocessors. There's clear value in "doing more simple things in parallel".
