The article (like most RISC hit pieces) neglects the implicit value of simplicity.

Complexity needs to be justified, and the article does a very poor job there.

It's not really a hit piece and I think he does a good job of arguing that high performance chips are not all that simple anyway anymore regardless of ISA.

There has not been any detectable simplicity in anything called RISC in decades. Even things that seem simple looked at from outside are fiendishly fiddly when you look closer.
