Why "NVIDIA RTX A5000 Laptop GPU" does not have the ECC function?

I just bought a dell mobile workstation with the top mobile GPU option: NVIDIA RTX A5000 Laptop.

After receiving it, I found that everything is OK, but the ECC function is “N/A” in the output of “nvidia-smi -q”. My driver version is 470.86.

Is this a normal case?

If A5000 Mobile, as a professional card, does not have the ECC function, what is the difference between it and 3080 Mobile? Their metrics are almost the same.
