I doubt we can get Intel to change directly. Most people don't buy from them directly anyway. My belief is that we can get OEMs to consider this a serious issue, and have them turn into a market pressure on CPU manufacturers. After all, OEM's life would be simpler if Intel simply didn't put the IME that everyone wants removed.

Most people don't know that IME exists, they won't know either. You won't see an uproar from the consumers, because there are few that care (us). You are better off informing the general public in my opinion.
EDIT: I'd actually put money into RISC-V products instead.
