We also have to keep the move to UEFI in mind for X86 systems. I have a machine here with UEFI, and it does not have a speaker, and even booting a legacy BIOS image, it does not beep. SO while I agree the beep is one way to indicate to the user when to press a key, it is not going to work in all circumstances, and I think the beep not being heard will become more common as more people move to using UEFI hardware.
