Not everyone runs programs they don't trust on hardware they don't own. These sidechannel attacks are really only an issue for consumers with JIT JavaScript, and for enterprise with shared hosting. For HPC, or consumer/professional applications eg. gaming, rendering, encoding, ie. all those places where performance actually really matters, SMT is a great way to get a decent boost in a lot of workloads.
