Not it isn't. The mentality of quite a few devices is very different to
SCSI in the way the express queueing and caching. You cannot for example
map I2O Block onto SCSI at all.

That was discussed, along with continuing to split scsi and block aspects
of queueing, tagging and error recovery apart. Windows btw does generally
follow that 'everything is SCSI' approach
