Unfortunately, being slow is just not acceptable in a decent portion of scenarios. Web developers won't start writing 5x faster sites, and cloud providers won't like needing 5x more hardware to serve the same amount of virtual CPU performance. (5x being my random guess of the performance decrease from losing speculative execution & co; it'd likely be even worse, especially combined with the fact that manufacturers would have to design a completely new chip)
