They have an inferior product. Dell could just call their bluff and go AMD exclusive.

The public perception is still that Intel is superior. If you don't have Intel products available or with a competitive price, you will lose market share.

Remember that most people are tech illiterate (or not savy enough) to know/care about technical details more than they trust marketing and brands.
