which ist completely user hostile, as the original idea (back with certified Z800s, RHEL5 and FX3800s) of a dual-OS-workstations has not panned out.

Today it's basically nagging developers and technical users, who don't want to run proprietary software unsandboxed (but want CUDA...) and have a hassle-free experience into buying quadros. I can't think of any business-case for that, because cracking down at the shady ML-cloud-vendors works out okish right now for them and at unis people won't notice at large...

With Ryzen's support of ECC, if AMD brought SR-IOV to its non-work station radeon cards, it would be another interesting feather in its cap. They do have product announcements coming up, bought doubt that is an important feature to most users.
