That's a shame. I suspect they don't have the budget to heavily retool their system. Or they rebrand an OEM and support the configuration provided.

They might even be locked into a long term agreement with someone. Intel or a supplier. Which would cost them more than moving to AMD, or a newer Intel chip.

Most of their customers probably won't notice anyway. The reason its making the news now is because Intel has been beat up lately.

It's a rebranded Asus NUC (Intel NUC) with a custom chassis. I doubt they have any long term contracts with the low volume that they sell.
