Who does this give reason to move to ARM? End-users generally don't have a choice (good luck running AutoCAD on ARM) and OEMs either don't seem to care or list ME as one of the selling points of their systems.

You could make the case that this might convince people to use AMD CPUs, but from what I hear AMD has all the same issues with worse performance to boot.

Such decisions are not made in the face of pressure. I think, they are made years ago and now they are (still) executed.

In the corporation centers, nobody thinks of critical users that look very carefully on things. They mostly think about the average user, that just wants more "power".
