You are perfectly right. Basically, it is "moving the lines".

Taking more time to code, even duplicate some code paths for major ISAs is saner than to depend on the planned obsolescence of grotesquely and absurdely massive compilers and many computer language syntaxes. See that as short term thinking vs long term thinking.

You would find some kind of middle ground when combining those with high level scripting languages.

Think about a world where many code paths are available in risc-v assembly, with risc-v written python-like interpreters.
