AIUI, that is expected by gcc people: the gcc documentation says:

“to test whether the attribute referenced by its operand is recognized
by GCC”

Strictly speaking, being recognized by GCC doesn't mean being supported
on the target platform. I agree that it makes it not really useful
here, but I'm not the one to be convinced :) I'd say bring the issue to
upstream gcc.
