A RISC-V CPU is inherently more open even from an end user perspective. That is not practically relevant for end-users if you consider somebody using for example a USB stick an enduser. However you could take the code on your device and run it on a alternatives providers implementation or on an open implementation. But just like end users of software don't really get practical benefits from open source, its the same for hardware. The advantage is for the industry and developers.
