No new BIOS update for my Dell OptiPlex 9020?

If you follow the link, the article states:

Description of the Dell BIOSConnect and HTTPS Boot features:
The Dell BIOSConnect feature is a Dell preboot solution that is used to update system BIOS and recover the operating system (OS) using the SupportAssist OS Recovery on Dell Client platforms. Note: BIOSConnect requires a physically present user to initiate this feature. Only a subset of platforms with the BIOSConnect feature is affected. See the table under Additional Information section below for impacted platforms.
The Dell HTTPS Boot feature is an extension to UEFI HTTP Boot specifications to boot from an HTTP(S) Server. Note: This feature is not configured by default and requires a physically present user with local OS admin rights to configure. Additionally, a physically present user is required to initiate the feature when used with wireless networks. Not all platforms contain the HTTPS Boot feature. See the table under the Additional Information section below for a list of impacted platforms.
Presumably, your Optiplex 9020 lacks the feature that causes the vulnerability. Even if it is present, it isn't turned on by default in the BIOS settings.

Doesn't look like a big deal to me. If you're worried, I suggest that you contact Dell support. (If you can do that without having to pay for the privilege.)
