Why is that funny? These are for low cost entry level servers where two digit number of cores is not needed.

Am I missing something here? Whats the point of a Xeon if its a quad core without hyperthreading, only dual channel memory and no dual socket support?

ECC ram.

ECC support is disabled on non Xeon models.

Sure, but that doesn't seem like a strong enough reason on its own to spend the money for the xeon platform

If your business needs official support for ECC - rather than unofficial support - then your only other options are Ryzen Pro, ThreadRipper Pro, EPYC, and Xeon Scalable.

I can't find Ryzen Pro pricing because the Ryzen Pro isn't sold retail as an individual processor.

Still, the Xeon E will mostly be competing with the Ryzen Pro. It's at least plausible that the Xeon E is price-competitive with the Ryzen Pro, and for someone who needs only 4 cores with ECC, it's definitely better than an EPYC, ThreadRipper Pro, or a Xeon Scalable.

Vanilla Ryzen, not JUST Ryzen pro, supports ECC.

They offer hyperthreading if you want it.

Some users turn off hyperthreading during avx512 operations anyway.
