    yeah, no you have a misconception of what risc-v is.

    Risc-v is an isa not a chip. the isa is open, available to anyone.

    Implementations of risc-v (actual working designs) are usually not open. They are just guaranteed to be able to execute risc-v instructions.

    So risc-v is neither more nor less vulnerable to hardware backdoors than any other architecture
