I'm pretty sure that's not true. Many general purpose CPUs have CRC
circuity, and there must be some which also expose them as
instructions.

I think you're jumping to conclusions. Intel and AMD have various
cross-licensing deals. AMD faces other constraints which can make
implementing the instruction difficult.
