Most hardware these day is designed for Linux first, then ported to Windows. Linux has a dominant market share in servers, IoT and mobile. While the Android kernel (and it's "drivers") isn't really Linux anymore, it usually doesn't matter much. The driver will exist and they will be implemented by the manufacturer (most of the time) or RedHat/IBM. If a chip (like wireless) has any use outside of laptops, then it's going to have some kind of support.
Lenovo, Dell, Huawei and HP sell laptops with Linux pre-installed and supported.
