All the other major FPGA manufacturers already started offering an official supported RISC-V core as an alternative to their proprietary ISA cores a few years ago. Of course people also use 3rd party cores off github, but supported and integrated into the IDE and other tools means something to a lot of customers. MicroSemi have been offering RISC-V soft cores since 2017 and hard cores (PolarFire SoC, in e.g. the new BeagleBoard Fire, Icicle) since late 2020. Lattice announced their first official RISC-V soft core in I think June 2020 (collab with SiFive announced December 2019), and improved versions e.g. an 800 LUT core in mid 2021. Intel introduced Nios V in October 2021.
