Most desktop users don't change BIOS settings. They just try a software and if it doesn't work they usually throw it away and consider that software as bad or broken. In case of dual-boot they also depend on the previously installed OS. In case of already installed Windows changing the storage controller mode in BIOS from RAID to AHCI leads to BSoD. After all not supporting a common BIOS configuration leads to loss of users. What is not good in RAID mode without actual RAID array, except the fact OpenBSD doesn't run on it?
