I wholeheartedly agree.

Though, this shouldn't stop one to pick their fights and savor the wins. The defeatist mentality is our biggest enemy, we will not be victorious in the end if we don't resist.

Let's hope an excellent implementation of RISC-V with eye for open-source, processing power, efficiency and affordability comes out so that we're not limited to the expensive (but otherwise excellent) Talos II by Raptor Computing Systems.
