So true. I haven't checked out the CPU start9 is using (so please don't read this as an attack on them), but so much RISC-V hardware advertises itself as "open", but when you look up the SoC, it's only partially documented, only works with old forked vendor kernel, only boots with forked uboot, has GPUs and NPUs that are completely undocumented and have no open source driver (or only an open wrapper around a big firmware blob)...
