I think the point is that people with thousands of machines are probably going to notice if a meaningful chunk of them start halting.

Yep, and desktop users will certainly notice. Only AMD has desktop (not workstation) ECC support.

If you are running windows 10 random halts and the CPU getting hot won't seem suspicious.

Why do you need to target one person who has thousands of machines? What if I just want to pwn whatever random machines visit my dodgy website? Dismissing an exploit just because it only works some fraction of the time seems overly optimistic to me.
