Or the cost of the tape-out outweighs the number of customers using the feature.

Yup. The times when I've worked on small-quantity ASICs, tapeout cost and engineer availability have been the main reason that bugs weren't fixed.

The ENC28J60 did at least four more silicon revs after the errata were released, so... yay Microchip?
