It is really unfortunate that AVX-512 has been such a mess when it came to support from Intel on their newer hardware platforms. I think Dr. Lemire has gone quite a ways in demonstrating that there's a lot of potential for software to see performance gains with this type of platform, but I think we'll need further improvements in developer experience before it's more commonplace.
The other way to look at it is that quite frankly most business services just don't hit a performance barrier where you're sitting and waiting on a string operation. You're usually waiting on some sort of I/O.
