Apple is a large enough buyer that they could probably get Intel to supply CPUs with the feature disabled. They likely don't have to go as far as changing the CPU architecture entirely.

Google has already asked and Intel said no. You would need to get a coalition of many different OEMs in order to force Intel's hand.

I just searched for a while and couldn't find it, so I must be mis-remembering. Edited.
