'Who benefits?' Seems to be a relevant question.

Intel has to have spent quite a bit of money to add any feature that you see; so why would they do that without a strong market case...?

Yeah, nobody in this topic has copped to actually using the ME so far. I've never heard of anyone using it.

Most do not use it "directly", but instead use features implemented by it.

E.g. I've used Intel Platform Trust Technology (PTT) to implement system security features, and AFAIK that runs on ME.
