Its already nearly impossible to buy a CPU powerful enough for a modern desktop setup (full desktop GUI, up-to-date web browser) for any OS (even Linux) that doesn't have all sorts of stuff in it that the user has no control over. Intel has Intel ME. AMD has AMD PSP. And all the ARM chips have TrustZone or similar systems that lock the users out.
Even something like the Librem laptops still have who knows what code running that the user can't see. (the supposedly-neutered Intel ME in particular)
The best hope is for someone to start producing a RiscV CPU or SoC powerful enough for a full desktop Linux stack (running a privacy focused fork of Firefox or Chromium or something) that is 100% open and documented and free of any user-unfriendly crap.
