That doesn't seem right. Hypervising is not a feature many consumers use, so why would they spend the money to include it in consumer chips?
Watching rented movies is something consumers apparently do; I understand it to have mostly been used for that.
Besides that, these aren't area-heavy features; it's cheaper to share the core design and just have the feature available anyways than to design it out.
