Yeah, they've gotten a bit bloated, but ARM is still a lot simpler than x86. That's why ARM is usually higher core count, because they don't have as many specialized circuits. That's good for some use cases (servers, low power devices, etc), and generally bad for others (single app uses like gaming and productivity), though Apple is trying to bridge that gap.
But yeah, ARM and x86 are a lot more similar today than they were 10 years ago. There's still a distinct difference though, but RISC-V is a lot more RISC than ARM.
