(U)EFI was not available for the general market in 2005 (except on Apple devices maybe). It was introduced around 2011.

I own 2 devices which are booting with non-(U)EFI BIOS. One is too old, manufactured around 2010 when (U)EFI was not available. One is new enough to having (U)EFI, but it's a mess and never worked with Fedora's (U)EFI integration so I was forced to install it in legacy BIOS mode.

In other words: I think it is too early to drop non-(U)EFI BIOS support.
