Fakeraid is the original name for this when manufacturers came up with it. Originally everyone were directly competing with the hardware raid, and the manufacturers of these raid cards did not go out of their way to tell anyone it was 99.9% software. There were fakeraid raid5/raid6 controllers that did not clarify that it was 99.9% software, hence the term being "fakeraid", as every other raid controllers prior to this were 100% hardware. And typically the fake raid needing their own heavy lifting driver were not integrated into the kernel and needed a 3rd party driver, with all of the risks of a 3rd party driver (lack of updates and support).
