It's EPYC that has ECC. Threadripper is for enthusiasts, not the professional market.

I'm running ECC memory on my R1700X... I'm fairly sure TR also has ECC memory. In fact, all of AMDs offerings except for APUs have ECC enabled, but AMD does not force motherboard manufacturers to implement it.
Threadripper and many Ryzen chips support ECC as well, and the professional market can use either and still be professionals.
EPYC has registered memory. While ECC is (traditionally) more common in RDIMMs, it's also available in UDIMMs.
