So what? Are you suggesting that Apple would have switched to RISC-V?
I like RISC-V (it's my job and I'm very involved in the community) but even now it isn't ready for laptops/desktop class applications. RVA23 is really the first profile that comes close and that was only ratified very recently. But beyond that there are a load of other things that are very much work in progress around the periphery that you need on a laptop. ACPI, UEFI, etc. If you know RISC-V, what does mconfigptr point to? Nothing yet!
Anyway the question was why would anyone switch from one proprietary ISA to another, as if nobody would - despite the very obvious proof that yes they absolutely would.
