What do you mean `"chance" to work`? If the CPU claims to support an instruction, it's perfectly fine to treat it as supporting the instruction.
If they haven't tested on other processors, should they leave code in because it has a "chance" to work on something else? I think both sides of this question could be legitimately argued so I wouldn't jump to calling it "evil".
