Absolutely you should care! The more people that demand this capability the more that Intel and AMD will have to offer this kind of support. In fact, we should demand that the Intel Management Engine and the AMD equivalent be equipped with capability to completely disable it.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Intel isn't preventing you from using Coreboot, or disabling IME.
It is the motherboard that needs to support Coreboot, not the CPU.
