Linus mostly compiles kernels and merges things and maybe replies to emails using a terminal, which is very different than most non-kernel development folks' idea of daily driveable. There's the whole GPU thing for example.
As a different reminder - Linux never worked really all that well on Apple's x86 hardware in the recent past!
Also as an compare and contrast - Lenovo has a dedicated Linux team to support Linux on standard x86 hardware - https://www.phoronix.com/news/Lenovo-Linux-2022-State https://www.phoronix.com/news/Lenovo-Linux-2022-State - so does Dell. It takes a lot more than oh we will merely make sure other OS is a policy and rest is left to you to figure out OtherOS folks.
