Frankly, the same is still true for Windows. Not all WiFi and BT devices are created equal. Sometimes an update breaks them in subtle ways. Actually, I had fewer compatibility problems with Linux than I had with Windows, using absolutely non-esoteric hardware, like Thinkpad laptops, Asus motherboards, etc. Hell, sometimes it was easier to set up a printer under Linux than under Windows (which, frankly, is more often the other way around). But usually Linux, and to a smaller extent, Windows, allows you to cobble your own solution if a solid predefined solution is not available. MacOS is much more often a "my way or highway" kind of environment. Some enjoy it; I don't.
