I mean, yeah, but also Simon and Speck aren't as good as the new generation of low-footprint designs like Ascon and Xoodyak. We know more about how to do these things now than we did 15 years ago.
I quite liked the remarkable simplicity of Speck. Performance was better than Ascon in my limited testing. It seems like it should be smaller on-die or in bytes of code, and with possibly lower power consumption. And round key generation was possible to compute on-the-fly (reusing the round code!) for truly tiny processors.
