I'm noticing a pervading impression that MulticoreWare are only developing x265 for "enthusiast" users, when they are, in fact, developing it as part of a platform for professional/commercial content creators.
Consumers are merely enjoying the consequences of the base encoder being open-source. Most of MCW's HEVC products are propietary.
Specifically regarding AVX512, see here:

So, if you don't want to rapidly encode 20 target variations of the one master source, don't have the requisite farm of US$10000 server processors, don't want to encode 4:2:2 4K60 in real-time, or don't actually even use UHDKit (which, I'm guessing, cleverly compartmentalises AVX512 API workloads), then it's easy to dismiss the last year's worth of development as wasted.
