Wow, you're right. It's really hard for me to believe that by sheer happenstance, I have never (except once) worked on an iMac model newer than 2012 (according to everymac.com). But I suppose it's not entirely improbable, because it's the old ones that need the most help. I don't recall optical drives in most of the units I have worked on, but then again I had no reason to pay any attention to them because they were never the issue.
