So really looking at another 5 years minimum for SE to even consider it due to the install base even on the PC side of things.

The important note in that is FULL before people go off on one, the 970+980 and the modern AMD cards are rumoured to be using only partial of DX 12 features, Nvidia side of things a bit more so far.
What exactly is "full" dx12?
Support for all Feature_Levels under DX12, with every feature at max tier?
nVidia Maxwell 2 architecture supports FL 11_0, 11_1, 12_0 and 12_1 iirc at at least minimum tier for each FL. (edit: should be noted also that DX12 feature level 11_1 and DX11 feature level 11_1 are slightly different as well, afaik)
AMD have more Tier 3 support for features, but lack Feature_Level 12_1...
