I'll assume that Loongson are equally as backdoored, but by Chinese intelligence rather than US intelligence.
RISC-V and OpenPOWER are the last remaining non-user-hostile ISAs. That and possibly old x86.
Social inertia and an extra helping of users hate having to learn things.
The CSAC also accused Intel of embedding a backdoor “in almost all” of its CPUs since 2008
