You're likely already paying for silicon you don't use. Take AVX512 instructions (or other more exotic instructions) for example, or unused PCIe lanes, certain encoders on your GPU etc.

Also, people thinking they have no use for an NPU are almost certainly already using them, for example when taking a photo with their phone.
