Since SATA support was merged, certainly since v2.4, and from way before /dev/disk/by-id existed.
I have no idea how "SATA before USB" had been done in the past (if it was ever a thing in the kernel), but that has not been the case since at least v3.0 AFAIR.
People may not run udev, and you can't use /dev/disk/by-id on kernel command line.
No, but you can always use root=PARTUUID=, that's built into the kernel. (root=UUID= requires udev or so though).
