Because Intel implementations of AVX-512 were pretty much unusable or not worth using until 2019-2020, so nobody was writing much AVX-512, so they didn't need to.

AMD practically resurrected AVX-512 by supporting it across both desktop and server products, so it's weird to criticize them for taking a while when Intel nearly killed the thing via segmentation and poor implementation.

I'm not criticizing it, just wondering why it took that long and if it was due to patents or not.

AMD probably decided that their transistor budget was better spent elsewhere.
