I don't think I understand #2, wouldn't the small vendor just build and sell their boards pre-populated with an intel CPU part? They'd have to carry more inventory but not a crazy amount more.

Yeah, that's a good point. This introduces a new inventory consideration, namely CPU model demands (they'll have to determine the best distribution of proc models across each product). Probably not too big a deal
