Yes, it is a shame that VMware has not either addressed this in their products or told us exactly why they haven't. 

This performance/efficiency core architecture concept is not going away.

It's almost like "well, we don't support Alder Lake in ESXi, so we're not going to do that in the desktop products since we reuse a lot of ESXi code". I'd welcome a response by a VMware employee to tell me if I'm right or wrong - but I'm not hopeful that I'll get one.
