I don't see how that difference turns it into a criticism of the technology. It changes your statement to "They are including the feature just because people still want to use the feature."
Yes. Yes they do! As evidenced by it's support in the latest versions of some of the most high end hard...
Compatibility issues? It is a feature that is either provided or not. A drive would be compatible either way. And FYI, it is provided in some boards. Just, not for nVME that I have found yet. Other drives are still supported.
Do you have an actual argument about why using this method sucks? Or...

All of the new Samsung EVO nVME drives feature drive-level, Class 0 encryption via setting an ATA Password.
This is a standard and feature that has been around for other drives for at least 10 years. But, I am surprised to find that there are few (if any?) motherboards that support it for nVME...
