I'm sure part of that is just marketing segmentation, but significant binning does take place. If VT-x is disabled, that may indicate that there were some defects in the location that those circuits inhabit.

Intel would never amass enough broken-HT but otherwise good chips to provide the impetus for an extra SKU.
