RISC-V wouldn’t help here at all. There’s nothing about RISC-V that prevents a CPU manufacturer putting in custom instructions and not documenting them.

I understand that, but my sliver of hope is that since it's an open architecture, there will be manufacturers that make very hackable versions of it.
