1. Intel's libOpenCL only supports CPU on Linux. No GPU/APU support.
2. GPUs are not magic go-fast devices. The microarchitecture and ISA have to be well-suited for the task at hand. As it stands, Intel GPUs have very minuscule raw compute power, and their ISA is not optimal for password cracking. Most modern-day CPUs with XOP or AVX2 support will be faster than an Intel GPU.
3. oclHashcat is oriented toward advanced users and competitive users, not toward the casual user. If you aren't dedicated enough to buy a proper GPU, then Hashcat probably isn't for you.
4. Development would not stop if atom disappeared.
