It's not a big deal to me -- all of my boxes are fairly modern. However, I thought one of the big selling points of linux in general is that you could run it on just about anything, including old, obsolete boxes.

Sure, but sometimes it's hard to target both ends of the spectrum.
I do not agree with your statement, but believe this to be largely a matter of _will_.
It's obvious to me, the ix86 doesn't fit into the Red Hat's business plans and their server deployment scenarios, so I'd presume there is a strong desire at RH to get rid of the ix86, which collides with a community desire to keep their ix86 running Fedora.
Also, it's a matter of fact Fedora has been doing a fairly good job at keeping the ix86 in decent shape over the last decade, despite the gradually declining numbers of users, keeping Fedora as one of last resorts on such HW.
