And we are starting to see riscv chips with similar functions. That ISA is open doesn't mean the firmware must be open. And we have already riscv devices with additional homegrown hardware security "features".
Of course, you could avoid manufacturers that put this type of security crap in their chips. But with that logic you can already avoid Intel ME by using CPUs from Via...
(The point I'm trying to make is that an open ISA doesn't really solve all our problems. I feel Berkeley folks are overpromising here)
