Of course it is! What is this question? No, man, not yet. Everyone has a thing just for the closed ones. Instead of asking "Is it time...?" you just do it when it's time! Damn those click baits. Although, open as in OpenSSL made a bad name for open source, because without critical audits there is even less security in open, because then it might be wide open instead! In open source, when a thing is made and it works for the most, nobody freakin cares anymore!
They're not asking if it would be nice to have, they're asking if it can be economically feasible now. If there isn't going to be a very large use case for open but inferior processors, a lot of money will be lost by anyone investing. That isn't a problem with software.
