Not directly, but anyone with a Hackintosh (modified PC running Mac OS) must have it disabled, and a fair number of pro users disable it for various purposes.

This…is not true. It's not just Hackintoshes, it's ANY hardware that lacks a SIP-compliant driver. Avid editors use a lot of hardware, hence frequently MUST disable SIP.
I'm guessing because your original post contained didn't explain any of that; it did indeed seem like you were implying this update was aimed at hackintoshes.
From my experience, very few of those video editing workstations were likely anything but official Apple hardware. Hollywood (and connected) studios have far too much money invested into their ventures to take a chance on unsupported hardware/software combinations to that degree.

I didn't mean "google is intentionally killing hackintosh systems".

But sure: blame the user.
