Why are you surprised? If you are trying to make a point that AES-NI is common, just say so. Trying to do so by saying the opposite and expecting people will pick up on the sarcasm through a pure text medium without necessarily sharing the same knowledge to know whether that statement is true or not just adds confusion to the conversation.
The point itself is useful, but the manner in which you expressed it emphasizes the delivery over the content, to the degree the content is sometimes obscured.
