To be fair i3 being the lower end offering with just 2 cores isn't really competing against any of the server products Intel offers.
Quad (and more) core i5 and i7 that do have near-equivalent Xeon parts do have ECC disabled.

An i3 is very often a perfect chip for a NAS.

Person above is running a NAS; seems the i3 would be perfect.

Sorry, maybe not a NAS but my point stands. Almost any chip that has a server equivalent either has ECC disabled in the chip or the motherboard chipset. This was never the case until some years ago, and the only example I've ever found of Intel removing a feature from their desktop chips exclusively. I don't see any other reason for this except to force people to buy Xeons for their servers
That's not correct. All 6th Gen Core i3 have ECC support, and the 7th Gen Core i3 that have 'E' in the product name support ECC:
