I'm gonna quit explaining this and just say, "WRONG" every time you say
this as if it's a fact :)

What’s the difference between between channelized I/O and a rack of
x86 servers connected to a SAN using fibre channel driven by high speed HBAs?
PCIe was created specifically for PCs and IBM z16 chose to use that as their
only channel technology. Channelized I/O for PC has been available for several
decades and is not limited to PCIe. The IBM z16 can have up to 1,536 PCIe+
slots.
As for x86 fiber channel connection to a PC, PCIe is only one possibility.
