While I certainly wouldn't turn away multi-core performance improvements, the onus isn't entirely on Intel. A large portion of the software market still makes no or very poor use of multiple cores. Cranking that performance up for many apps that won't use it really isn't a selling point to the general market. It would be a boon for specialized workflows, certainly not denying that, but it's not nearly as attention grabbing or experience improving as solid integrated graphics are. Just a few years ago integrated graphics were garbage, and now they're reasonably formidable for most tasks, even some light gaming.
