No, as they can’t sell them anyway. Surface sales are only ~2-3M devices a year for the last 7 years.
iPad sold ~40M in 2018 and MacBook ~20M.

Why is that not Intel’s fault?

Because on the Microsoft branded Surface product, Microsoft has implemented a custom driver scheme to work their system. Under that model they should Block generic Intel drivers as not appropriate within their system. Intel supplied the hardware, but Microsoft changed the rules. That makes this an Oopsy-daisy from Redmond.
