Sure it is, it's just that "off" needs to be done by Intel and sold under a different SKU.

- wang_li 10y agoIt doesn't even need to be that. Expose it on a header on the motherboard so end users can add/remove a jumper. Same as should be in place for the write enable pin on the system's firmware EEPROM. The fact that the end user has no way to prevent firmware updates on most motherboards is a fucking travesty. Businesses can simply tell their employees to leave it enabled or find another job.
