should I care about Coreboot or Libreboot yet if I don't have Libre or supported Hardware?

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.
Technically speaking, Intel can take steps to make it easier for consumers to prevent ME from booting.
Take AMD for example. In 2027, AMD plans to publish OpenSIL, which will basically give the community keys to the initialisation of silicon (which includes AMD PSP). Of course, Intel being the POS that they are aren't going to do that
