There is no link. Segmentation of ECC support was an Intel decision which other chip manufactures have copied to a greater or lesser extent. For what it's worth, ECC support is spotty in Chinese-designed chips as well.
Intel's decision could just as well have been made by a socialist government's regulatory body (in the form of "minimum requirements for consumer chip" legislation), or by a committee of decision makers in an employee-owned company. We may never know, because we only have 2-4 data points and they're all basically capitalist.
Honestly, I'm not sure it was intended to be a serious comment. It could just as easily have been "...failure of human cognition and Obama."
