Why would they make just 486 CPUs? /j

No they made millions. They're just leaving 486 of them behind specifically.

That's all we needed back on the 90s. Three for the government to run their wargames, one for each major university to run their interwebs pump. one for each blue-chip company to make sure they were complying with trickle-down economics. The remaining were sold overseas to allied countries so they could bootstrap themselves out of the late Renaissance. What a heady time it was to be alive.
