It's possible, e.g., iterate all users of the intrinsic, bitcast all the select operands as well; or add patterns for i16; or make vselect peek through bitcast etc.
But I think the small performance regression is not a critical requirement as the backward compatibility for the old intrinsics. It may not worth the code complexity.
