CPU manufacturers have a lot of say on what motherboard manufacturers can/must do.

Have a lot to say =/= have all to say.

Aren't those just called specifications? As long as the manufacturer meets those then it's pretty much fair game what else they do.

Suppose those specifications are designed with the CPU maker's profits in mind. Maybe motherboard manufacturers lose perks if they misbehave beyond just specifications.

Heck, even GPU makers have managed to make motherboard manufacturers their bitch in the past: licensing chips to support their multi-GPU tech.
