This might have something to do with their patent dispute with Nvidia that cost them $1.6 billion back in 2011. Probably Intel still want (able to) compete with Nvidia on compute, but not graphics market.

The modern ones don't suck. The highest end Intel integrated graphics offerings complete pretty well with the AMD/Nvidia mobile offerings.
