Just because the ISA is open source doesn't mean that the end product or even the design will be open source.

RISC-V is licensed permissively, giving anyone the right to make a proprietary (or FOSS) RISC-V processor.

Often times, you'll see mostly open source cores, but then some extention is proprietary.
