I'd see Serial ATA being a "serious challenger" if it allowed you to
cheaply build some "embarrassingly-parallel" RAID servers where you
were able to get 16 drives hooked up, each on its own ATA 'bus' for
about the price of 4-way SCSI.

But the intended market is doubtless the super-price-conscious market,
which naturally leads to the overall quality of the results being
pretty compromised.
