No, this does not follow, at all. Few things in life are monocausal and systems (here the aggregate of hardware and software) tend to have more than one bug. If one bug dominates and you remove it then of course you're still left with residuals.
It doesn't have to be intel's fault though. It could be mobo vendors defaulting to unsafe settings.

However workstation and server class motherboards have a much lower risk of not following Intel recommendations on voltages and clock speeds. The error rate on the workstation boards are pretty high, on the order of a failure per week for 50% of workstations they were collecting telemetry from.
