>You can accomplish the same task in substantially fewer instructions, leading to higher performance for a given level of design effort.

The statement is true and favorable to RISC-V, as it is the one with lowest instruction count and code size; RISC-V wins, and it is not even close.

>Also a more developed software ecosystem.

Historically true, but right now the momentum is with RISC-V, and it is absolutely is catching up, and no longer a point of contention.

e.g. Debian is the largest Linux distribution by its library of packaged software. There, RISC-V has already overtaken[0] it in available package count.
