I'm not surprised that nobody noticed it at all. That's because it's not a KVM that you can purchase and test, the subject to the article.

Instead, you're just talking about IMPIjr. These specific features are not in consumer grade CPUs, but in CPUs marked for workstations. Ain't no consumer buying fuckin vPro machines. These are enterprise IT management features, not user features. They're also subject to frequent insane rants by people obsessed with them as possible privacy issues.

Yeah, fine, but a lot of people have been snapping up the tiny/micro class PCs instead of overpriced Pis and a lot of them have vPro.

I shove https://github.com/Ylianst/MeshCommander into the AMT on any vPro boxes I manage so I can have an easy-to-use frontend right on the AMT.

Man, I wish that tool was available fifteen years ago. All of our machines in our half-Linux half-Windows manufacturing operation were Q chips with vPro motherboards, that we (I) chose on purpose, but we didn't have the IT bandwidth to ever sit down and learn how to use them properly.
