The whole reason ARM transition worked is that you had millions of developers with MacBooks who because of Rosetta were able to seamlessly run both x86 and ARM code at the same time.

This meant that you had (a) strong demand for ARM apps/libraries, (b) large pool of testers, (c) developers able to port their code without needing additional hardware, (d) developers able to seamlessly test their x86/ARM code side by side.

RISC-V will have none of this.
