Various people have suggested to Intel that they made a mistake by not selling desktop/workstation chips with AVX-512.

They DO sell desktop chips with AVX-512. I'm writing this from one: i9-9900X.

They do now. But for a long time they didn't (I think). Or maybe they always did but were unreasonably expensive.
