Well said, sir. Worth noting that this overview of where we've come from and how not far we've come was posted by a fellow is both clearly a genius, and who has his most popular github project written in x64 assembly. So I'd argue that even he sees the merit in the past when attempting to blaze a trail into the future.

For one thing, as long as our computers are binary, they are going to require instructions in a very specific way and anything we put over the top of them will expose that architecture to some degree or another.
