A slightly unrelated question but still, I'm not sure that the "Large Semantic Gap" is necessarily bad. Like the IA-64 showed that writing a proper optimizing compiler for an ISA like that can be very tricky. And maybe that's because the IR is usually RISC-ish, or maybe because major compilers target multiple architectures, but in the end it's almost like all that ISA's complexity is deemed an "overkill" and either ignored or underutilized?
