In RISC-V, the boot model is standarized. There's SBI (from years ago, where the open implementation opensbi is used by most boards) and UEFI (implemented not in any random way, but after SBI runs, and as per the spec published earlier this year).
All the pieces are in place for RISC-V to effectively dodge boot chaos. Way before the server/workstation RISC-V hardware hit the market.
In ARM, it's a mess. Because ARM took way too long to do way too little re: boot standardization.
