I'm not sure nobody cares, there are a lot of people who do care and (like me) refuse to buy Intel products. I think the problem is there is no other competitor. Both Intel and AMD (or possibly a three letter agency) have colluded to ensure there are locked management engines in all of their products. Also people just don't understand what the ME actually is. It is surprising the HN community who are mostly technical don't see just how atrocious it really is. One thing to note however, is I tell my none technical associates there is a second computer in their laptop. It runs software meant to remotely control their computer. They they can not remove it, they can not see what it does, and there's frequently security bugs found in it. When I tell them this I get told I am paranoid and being stupid. However when I ask them to just imagine if it was true, wouldn't it be awful, they mostly agree. The issue is people really don't want to know the truth. It reminds me constantly of a quote from the matrix: "Many of them are so injured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will that they will fight to protect it."
