The RPi is most certainly not "open hardware", it's even more closed than a standard PC. On the other hand, there are plenty of truly open ARM platforms out there, like the OLinuXino series:

That said, TempleOS on anything but standard PC hardware would be interesting to see.

I doubt whether OLinuXino's GPU is as open as RPi's VideoCore IV (among the GPUs used on ARM boards VideoCore IV (used on RPi) is the most open one - unluckily this is no praise for RPi :-( ), but convince me that I'm wrong.
