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?

I don't think that's true for either of those approaches in theory (I'd argue that especially hermeticists were historically very experimental), although it certainly tends to happen in practice. anyway, I'm not arguing for those things anyway (I'm a bit of a skeptic, but I have theoretical interest in those topics), I'm just saying that your're are worldview and language you use are very recognizable and it's not just the interest in esoteric/occult stuff that makes you easy to spot.
