This is simply not true.

There are hundreds of thousands of older desktops that are not
technically servers that have lots of older interfaces.

To say that non-AHCI controllers don't matter is to place a dignificant
barrier to use or adoption of Linux or Fedora.

I suspect that working in a situation where one is not buying or
maintaining ones own computer has produced a newrsighted view of what
the computing ecoshpere has lurking in it.
