AVX-512 also has a lot of wonderful facilities for autovectorization, but I suspect its initial downclocking effects plus getting yanked out of Alder Lake killed a lot of the momentum in improving compiler and library usage of it.

Even the Steam Hardware Survey, which is skewed toward upper end hardware, only shows 16% availability of baseline AVX-512, compared to 94% for AVX2.
