PC architecture is very standardized. ARM is like the wild West where nothing is standard. Everything needs specialized drivers that need to be compiled along with the operating system in order to even work.
Out of curiosity, is this something that RISC-V does better, or are they going down the same path as ARM?
I'm not as familiar with RISC, but my gut tells me that's it's a similar situation to ARM. Take that as you will.
Most RISCV boards don't support BIOS/UEFI AFAIK
RISC-V may only be better in the sense that it's an open, transparent framework. But I would expect a lot of "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" behavior from any larger manufacturers in the market.
