To be fair, they're talking about 8-bit PIC. The 16-bit families (PIC24/dsPIC3x) are a much saner register based architecture. And PIC32 is just MIPS.
The thing is there is zero reason to use a dsPIC or a PIC32 over some random ARM as far as I can tell. And I wouldn't call dsPIC "sane"... I tried using them once...
I'm still sad about the LPC1114FN28 being so short-lived (and bitter about NXP having straight-up lied when they claimed it'd be a "longevity product" kept alive until at least 2022, then killed it in ~2017)
Price. Bottom end PIC is still worth using when you need a CPU that’s <$0.30 in lowish quantities.
If you need a really cheap micro though, you go for chinese stuff. And dsPICs certainly aren't $.30, more like $1.80 all the way up to $10+. At that price point, just use ARM.
I've touched a project that was built around a dsPIC and running a pile of grad student code. Fun
