security vulnerabilities, not as energy efficient as other ISAs like ARM, bloated to support instructions that nobody uses anymore or maybe ever at all
15 years ago you used to be able to order the architecture manuals from Intel for free. It was a five volume set. The instruction set alone filled two >1" thick volumes, covering each instruction in roughly two pages.
CISC is bad. Billions and billions of transistors, and for what?

you forgot the biggest one: IP law duopoly
