Why Occident doesn't do the same ?? RISC-V is a libre hardware movement created and moved by many Occident Universities and yet we have few RISC-V in the market.
Are we too much stagnated with corporation products or what?
There is often a very limited market for underperforming hardware, which is how RISC-V chips will be starting out. There is a large amount of accumulated knowledge about, and workflow to accommodate, already established ISAs.
Due to most companies being publicly traded, taking risks is much less common, since a drop in profits could see a massive portion of the company's funds get pulled, or more likely the CEO being yanked by the board. So they play it safe and choose already established architectures.
Because as a business, it doesn't make sense in occident. They will be much worse in price to performance, and probably forget to run windows or other software.
From a business sense, it mostly makes sense of you think being dependent on "traditional" is a risk in a way or another.
Wait until RISC-V starts being included in every Chinese EV.
