I’m not sure where you got the idea that such things only exist on x86 and shame Intel and AMD for a feature that’s useful for many scenarios. Have you considered the fact that such features exist because there are actually many customers that want it? I was literally using the counterpart of ME on Power today. These tools are essential to many enterprise workloads, especially when you are in Boston and your data center is in Chicago. I wouldn’t write a useful feature off as a conspiracy for surveillance just like that.
