Count the RISC processors and RISC ones in your house that isn't the central one of a PC. You dishwasher, washing machine, tumble drier, TV, routers, WiFi access points, everything else, will be RISC. Normally ARM or MIPS. Apple has gone all ARM. Microsoft are trying to be relevant on ARM. ARM servers are now in low power data centers. RISC-V has a bright future due IP anticompetitive nonsense of x86 and ARM. Oh and x86 has a RISC heart and instruction conversion chips. Which "won" again? ;-) Also NT is normally said to be a "hybrid" : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_kernel
