Unfortunately, side-channel attacks like this (or like Meltdown, Spectre, TLBleed, Foreshadow, etc...) only have negligible real-world impact. They are very interesting from a theoretical point of view, but are usually totally impractical for a plethora of reasons. Therefore, chip designers aren't really pressured into thinking about new chip designs. The sad reality is that something like Log4Shell, which is super boring from a theoretical point of view, is much more practical for attackers to exploit.
