This simply isn't true - it's clear from the Purism statement that Librem
13v2 has not been entered for certification.
Since Qubes 4 is still at an early stage of development (not even RC1),
there is little prospect of ANY machine being certified for it at this
stage.
The fact that there are issues with Coreboot now is irrelevant - there
are issues with all sorts of things in 4 as it stands. But it was stated
that Qubes certified hardware should run on open source boot firmware,
and I dont think that has changed.
I dont think that Librem users have been "left in the lurch". It was
made clear that the Librem13 was not likely to be certified for Qubes 4.
This doesnt mean that the machine wont work with 4 - if you look at the
requirements page for 4, minimal are VT-x,VT-d SLAT.
A quick look at the HCL and the purism site confirms that the 13 has
CoreI5 6200U, and that CPU does have VT-x, VT-d and SLAT.
So in what sense does OP have grounds for feeling "left in the lurch"?

And I think its worth re-stating that Qubes wants a formal certification
process (which Purism chose not to continue).
Qubes should be lauded for creating this process and standing by it; It
guards against the erroneous perceptions people have about "PC hardware"
being a uniform blank canvas for creating an OS.
