No worries and thanks for sharing your experiences with RISC-V MCUs - really interesting.
FWIW I agree that AArch64's launch was not the same as the RISC-V launch. There has clearly been a lot more work required to boot the RISC-V ecosystem and they have made amazing progress. Arm had the advantage of incumbency and a lot more resources.
At the same time I think the have oversold progress on application level processors and I don't think this does RISC-V any favours at all. Arm has a lot of experience and the general tone from some of the RISC-V commentary is that they got it 'wrong' with AArch64 which, to be charitable, is unproven.
