Your tone clearly got a provocative hint, but Intel not getting the favors of the tech media was their own doing. After sandy bridge they decided to kickback and do the minimum, so Intel dominance ended up being boring with only a few interesting experiments here and there, like the eDRAM, but that was only for Broadwell. They took all their time in the world to make higher core count available on the mainstream plateforme at a mainstream price because without competition they didn't have the motivation to try hard.
Intel could have used a couple more years being humble, they need to get into their skull that resting on their laurels is not something that a tech company should do. That's one of the biggest reasons as to why Intel bashing has become an International sport on reddit. If we were under the impression that they were actually trying, their very best before Ryzen spooked them, the community wouldn't have bashed them. You can say that this is what's called "though love". Everyone is aware that they got huge funds, that they have talented engineers, both on the CPU and foundry side, but they got too cocky after 15 years of dominance and they needed to have a reality check.
The current situation with the lower nodes is nothing to be happy about, if no one else can compete with TSMC, or if they can't manage to increase their output, the futur is going to grim and Intel might be tempted to take it easy again. A true monoply is the last thing that we need.
If ten years of Bulldozer didn't kill AMD, nothing will.
