Imagine a scenario where you control both the motherboard creation and its firmware. The chipset remains from Intel, but your team handles PCB design and production. Could you potentially turn off Intel's Management Engine at any stage of manufacturing?

Only Intel has the capability to provide an answer. In theory, yes—why not?

Some information-enabled motherboards offer a setting to turn off this feature in BIOS.

I don't agree with that. Intel ME functions more as a control unit for the CPU; the motherboard simply needs it.
