In that case, it actually goes against your "they don't care about their users" narrative. Or maybe they partially care about their users.

Anyway, I see some value in the features that ME provides, and so I'm not as anti-ME as a lot of the commenters on here. But obviously, I want the security bugs to be fixed too.

What I was trying to say is that Intel doesn’t really have a financial incentive to have non-ME SKUs because, besides the majority of users not caring, those who do care don’t really have any other options.
