Why would it? Hardware support boils down to new kernels, mesa stacks etc and how many non-free drivers the distro wants to include. Opensuse (Leap) is not particularly cutting edge and is more restricted concerning non-free components than many other distros (e.g. why does it need pacman?).
So, no. It does not have "the best" hardware support and no distro has "by far" more hardware support than all other distros.

At least traditionally package choice and configuration by distro maintainers made a huge difference, as proven by the fact that problems could be solved by just fixing a config file or adding a package from the standard repo.
