> Why do CPU vendors implement a mode that cannot be controlled by the user?

It's even worse than that. It's gotten to the point that "operating systems" aren't actually operating the system anymore. Linux is just the "user OS", a tiny blip on the overall system schematics. Just some app to be sandboxed away from the real system.
