That's why you have profiles, nobody expects the base spec to take over the desktop world. However, RV64GC is a perfectly fine base profile for desktop computing.
Its not yet complete and eventually for desktop a more extended profile will be needed, but that profile will be the standard that all open source distros will build around, just as now RV64GC is the standard profile.
I don't understand why you even think the base spec should cover all things need for desktop, that was never the intention. In fact it was exactly not the intention.
RISC-V ecosystem explicit goal is to work form the smallest embedded core, to the largest super computer.
