Not as clear-cut on wasting space. Maybe those chips had a defective GPU area and why disabled - would be good to get clarity upon that.
The other aspect is that they will act as a heat spreader at the die level, so whilst not best use of space - given all the factors - not something could easily dismiss and better a waste of space than a waste of a chip who's only crime was to have a non-functioning GPU upon it.
