OpenSBI is open source so hardly comparable to SMM. https://github.com/riscv-software-src/opensbi

There's Open Source SMM as well (e.g. https://review.coreboot.org/plugins/gitiles/coreboot/+/HEAD/...) and it's still a pain.

"There's services outside the kernel's control that may or may not do what the kernel/userland/user expect because they can be independently updated, and, oh by the way, they're really powerful" is simply a pain to deal with.
