Redpill me on RISC-V

What's the point in using this instead of ARM or x86? Explain it in plain English, not technobabble. Is it faster? More power-efficient? Respects muh freedums? Supports cool new instructions you can't use on ARM or x86/AMD64?

What is the benefit? Or is it just neckbeards reinventing the wheel to show that they can?

Imagine a RISC-V port of Shrine (a fork of TempleOS with networking and Discord).

It'd be the most autistic hardware/software combination ever.
