Microsoft is in the wrong business IMNHO.

Here come the lawyers. This is a good one. MS changes taking out a major competitor and seizing control of a major virtualization market. All in the name of security. Wouldnt it be nice if the OS was written for security instead of dealing with 3rd party contracts?

A specific series of CPUs somehow working in an incompatible fashion with what was likely assumed by the software engineers as a safe improvement to make might be indicative of an exploitable security vulnerability of those specific CPUs. They are handling virtualization based security differently than the rest.
It is a normal feature of Windows that showed up in the latest Windows Server. And even if Windows can get the basic security feature working normally on Epyc, those chips known malfunction with specific code might be exploitable, maybe. Might be an I/O die thing.
