        Historically speaking, IME has been a low hanging fruit of attack vectors and intel has arguably speaking had worse problems with security vulnerabilities on hardware and firmware levels than say AMD or ARM. A bit anecdotal, but there you are.

            AMD and ARM also have their remote standards, but none as distrusted as IME.

            Also, remember that vulnerability where IME could be enabled through the internet by a malicious actor? That was fun…
