This is indeed sad, but also kinda in line with the goals. RISC V is only about making a CPU. Will the rest of said computer be free? It's hard to tell because the rest of the components are not specified by RISC V: The only the CPU is. A full computer has more than just the CPU (it needs a memory controller for one which that quote was talking about as well as other components.) If their goal were to make a complete computer free and not just a free CPU then maybe this might not have happened.
