    The example I use is Intel Management Engine (IME), which began being added to computers in late 2008. The stated purpose of IME is so that corporate offices can remotely control every computer in an office building. However pretty much every Intel computer has this and it can't be technically disabled. AMD has a similar feature called AMD PSP.

        It could! And they'll get the ol' solar panels and electric cars treatment with 100% tariffs, making them functionally unbuyable.
