Am I missing something or is the next step going to be Intel making ME impossible to remove without bricking your CPU? If so, seems like these efforts are fairly futile if they'll only work for the current gen of processors.

It is already impossible to remove the ME. If one does, then the system either doesn't boot at all or reboots after 30 minutes. All you can do is to apparently cripple it on some models.
