Lenovo Vendor Locking Ryzen CPUs with AMD PSB
True. However, sometimes large buyers, such as governments or enterprises, change their policies towards purchasing requirements. For example, since 2013 France has had an Inter-Ministry Foundation of Free Software[0], which provides the preferred software to be used across France's government, as French law requires preference be given to free software (logiciel libre).
What impact might occur if a government like France were to require in the future only RISC V architectures with free boot loaders, of if the US government or a large corporation required use of measured boot to see at boot-time if the boot code or subsequent OS had been compromised?
With persistent threat actors and the falling price of processing power, I wouldn't be surprised if in the next ten years some larger organizations (or tens of thousands of small businesses) start demanding this kind if IT security from their vendors.

By finding a bug in the PSP.
Heck, bugs like Meltdown and Spectre were found. And exploits on the PSP have already been demonstrated, see here https://github.com/PSPReverse/amd-sp-glitch
What are some alternatives?
