Lenovo does this for their laptops, but struggles with peripherals. Story time: A while ago Lenovo had bugs in their thunderbolt and uefi firmware, with symptoms like glitches when the devices were plugged in a lenovo ultra docking station. They published the firmware to LVFS and thereby enabled linux devices to apply these patches with fwupd. However the dock, which is a device on its own, also has some glitches, little annoying stuff like certain monitors on the display ports not working every time when hot-docking. They made patches for that as well, because business hardware, but a microsoft operating system is needed to apply them to the dock. Sure one can say: that is a problem of the dock vendor, which just happens to make the laptops as well.
