I guess you know they have debt, and they were paying them off, and were battling with other issues all the way till 2019 / 2020 when Intel had their misstep so they could gain something in the CPU server market?

But let's asume they thought it was too expensive back then. There's still no reason not to invest in software in 2020 when their gross margin was absurd.
