It's a market size problem.
For consumer motherboard OEMs, only AMD effectively has ECC support (Intel's has been so spotty and haphazard from product to product), and of AMD users, only a small number care about ECC.
So motherboard companies, being resource and time-starved as they are, don't make it a priority to address such a small user-base.
If Intel started shipping ECC on everything, it would go a long way towards shifting the market.
