The latest advisories were:
Firmware updates
OS and browser updates only partially mitigate Meltdown and Spectre. Organizations need to be prepared for UEFI firmware and BIOS updates, as well. When and whether updates will be pushed out will vary from vendor to vendor, adding another layer of complexity and uncertainty to patching. In some cases, admins may have to proactively check for updates from their PC makers periodically over the next few days or weeks.
this is not a hello world script, or a classroom project where you have at most a couple hundred lines of code.
For a perfect example look at the rhino unstoppable fix that broke unstoppable for every character.
here is a good article from over a year after the discovery:
https://www.csoonline.com/article/3397090/how-to-update-your-spectre-meltdown-mitigations-for-the-retpoline-mitigation.html
you will note that it does not lit fixes, it lists mitigations:
Intel came up with a new methodology called “Retpoline.” The mitigation technique “is resistant to exploitation and has attractive performance properties compared to other mitigations.”
the act of mitigating, or lessening the force or intensity of something unpleasant, as wrath, pain, grief, or extreme circumstances:
Social support is the most important factor in the mitigation of stress among adolescents.
the act of making a condition or consequence less severe:
the mitigation of a punishment.
the process of becoming milder, gentler, or less severe.
a mitigating circumstance, event, or consequence.
It does not fix it, it makes the issue less important.
Mitigation means it will restrict access to certain points of access with less processing power
mitigation in this case means it will restrict access to certain points of access with less usage of processing power.
You said

Note, you did not say FIX, the bug still exists you are just working around it where you can... Exactly what I stated....
If you mitigate the pain of a wound the wound is still there, the pain is just lessened.
Note: You should not consider mitigations as long-term fixes for application security flaws. Environmental changes or new attack techniques can render ineffective many mitigating factors, including network and operating system mitigations. Veracode recommends that you use mitigations as part of a long-term plan to remediate the flaws in the code.

Secondly people are not just going to throw out millions of dollars worth of servers.
Third and related to the second, the issue of meltdown was blown out of proportion. In order to exploit meltdown you had to have root level access on atleast a guest vm to access the host machines data, and understand the timing and paths of the cpu and memory, even then only proof of concept exploits exist.... So the issue is not as big as people made it out to be, meaning people like me who run a few hundred webservers can be ok with just mitigation and not an outright fix.
"Or are you trying to say that its not fixed and everybody is ignoring security flaws and still using unsafe hardware in this information age"
Yes they are.. Literally, study after study in the field shows it.
