Unless you want cycle-accurate interfaces, it's pointless. Software can provide more than good enough performance and be a lot more flexible at that.
As microcontrollers get faster, the cycle-accurate timing becomes less relevant, as you can still match external timings with software and have the support of an RTOS to help with that.

What about power consumption? Could you have a tiny Mac which runs approximately forever on a single charge?
I imagine the power consumption of the compute part would be dwarfed by the display in any case.

Power consumption is rather tiny I guess, but you would still want a screen!
