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".

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.
