It relates back to a real problem in the Linux ecosystem today - the assumption Windows Computer == Linux Computer. A false assumption, especially when you get into the realms of device support for specific motherboard features, wifi cards, expansion cards, etc. If anything, the real problem is the lack of an easy to reference directory of Linux hardware from the buyers perspective, rather than from the owners perspective. IE, "I want to buy <insert part> (or <notebook>) that supports Linux, all the parts manufacturers provide open drivers or documentation, and all the parts are compatible. The lack of such a resource probably turns a lot of potential Linux converts off.
