Because it relies on user input. Someone may have tried it and just gave up instead of filing a PR. Read the list, there are a lot that say things like "Stops booting while accessing the SATA drives. Problems with on-board ethernet." or "Random freezes with onboard SATA controller, SATA-RAID not recognized. Onboard ethernet not recognized. AGP not recognized." That sounds like a "doesn't work" to me, however if the user just gives up, nothing is going to be reported. P.S. cross-posting two lists is bad form.
