Hello @Avalan666, you're presenting that your hardware in its current configuration does not support that hardware feature, which is accurately being reported.

My understanding is that there's no functional penalty for the information presented here, and there should be no special casing for edge cases like this, regardless of OS.

You'd be better off not replying to this at all; I would forget about it in a matter of days/weeks, and this would be the end. Instead, I get an answer 'it's not a bug/won't fix' and my report is therefore invalidated. This makes me feel frustrated, and I will no longer report bugs, regardless of their severity. Good job!
