They wouldn't. As I said, this is to the best of my knowledge.
However, I believe I would know because it's not like one day the CEO came to us with a folder filled with requirements to be implemented. This is something that started very small ("find a way to force reboot a PC remotely if it's non-responsive") and evolved from there over months/years. I endured way too many meetings were design decisions were made. Unless there were secret CIA agents disguised as my colleagues, I really believe it was designed by Intel engineers all the way through.
I have no issues with people criticizing the product for its failures. I agree with them. But every time I see someone claiming this was a CIA thing, it actually hits me personally.
Then again, I'll never be able to convince anyone of anything. I just felt like saying something this time.

I guess I'm having a bad morning :)
