> because software update that work around a HW bug aren’t a thing. This definitely isn't true. We have seen microcode updates that work around buggy CPUs before. Often by taking a slow path for buggy cases. For example there were microcode updates to "fix" (moderately mitigate) Specter and Meltdown which were almost certainly hardware bugs.
