Fair, but I still think they should switch. I don’t think it would be too difficult anyway. It should mostly amount to rewrite of the decoder as can be inferred from the fact that it is mostly a superset of MIPS64.
The perceived benefits, are being independent of the west on technology. Which RISC-V already provides.
