If AVX-512 was not in scope yet left turned on, parts may operate outside design limits, there's system-level validation that may not have been run, and specs that are at risk. Think about the scale of all PC OEMs that use these CPUs, rather than a specific product.
For example, it's known that AVX-512 is power hungry and significantly increases TDP (heat). Do all Alder Lake based products have the thermal headroom? If CPUs operate outside of the envelope communicated by Intel, they may not be entirely stable, and parts could fail earlier than expected.
