Sounds like you are making some progress. It's just unfortunate, sad
and frustrating that it's so hard to get companies like Intel to take
notice of problems in their products. It inevitably makes me less
likely to use and recommend them.

Of course, it isn't a problem unique to Intel (or large companies in
general). However, large companies often develop bureaucracies where
such problems proliferate, since often it isn't "locally" optimum to
be accountable and responsible. I don't have a good solution to that
problem, and even if I thought I did, it wouldn't be on topic in this
group. It is still frustrating....

True, but Intel is the only company I know of that has this particular
issue, and it has so much presence in the market that the issue is
significant. It's not only a matter of respect for the customer, it's a
matter of corporate responsibility.
