You're right. I should have done a bit more research before running my mouth.
It looks like Microsoft is even stopping anti-Meltdown/Spectre patches for AMD processors, since such updates are accidentally bricking them.
I shudder to think about the mess facing Debian/Ubuntu, Arch, CentOS and other FOSS operating systems (which are fragmented and as such often lack the centralized updates of MS or Apple) in the years to come.
