When comparing micro-architectures in general so that it makes any possible sense, at minimum comparative analysis of advantages of disadvantages would be appropriate.
Not sure if I dare to say this but what a load of nonsense.
Just to name an example, the standard for RISC-V with MMU is unfinished and ambiguous to the point that how a SiFive CPU's do stuff is more of a guideline than the specs. The commercial weight if AFAIK more in the compute core area where you just "fork" the hardware description and make it your own.
Not slandering RISC-V per se, I actually like many thing in that ISA, just saying that it is not *even* comparative to x86 and ARM at this point of time. E.g. OpenMIPS would have been (if there had been any analysis of other ISA's than x86).
