I believe Xeon vs Epyc is more to do with the fact that migration from Xeon to Epyc is a disruptive process both at the hypervisor and guest level. Server hard ware changes today is Install new host -> Migrate VM;s live to new host -> Shutdown old host Zero Downtime This is simply not possible with a Xeon to Epyc Migration which requires downtime, as well as testing of the guest to ensure nothing weird happens it is a prime example of Vendor Lockin. IF there was away to live migrate with zero downtime Epyc would own the datacenter today
