I couldn't find any free NVRAM in a stock PC when I last looked.  The
PC started out short of resources (e.g., 8 then 15 IRQs) and some of
those limitations are still with us.  Apparently nobody in a position
to fix it (e.g., Microsoft and Intel) thinks that having a chunk of
unallocated NVRAM would be useful enough to make it standard.
