There's a saying in motorcycling: it's better to be alive than right. There's no upside in being correct if it leaves you worse off.
There are ways to make things better leveraging the Linux way. Make more usable tools for fixing ACPI deficiencies with hotloadable patches, ways of validating or verifying the patches for safety, ways of sharing and downloading them, and building a community around it.
Moaning that manufacturers only pay attention to where their profits come from is not a strategy at all.
It's quite literally a vendor problem created by vendors leading anyone that doesn't run Windows astray in some cases.
If you run Linux, then dare to change your OSI vendor string to "Windows", you've entered into bespoke code land that follows different non-standard implementations for every SKU, where it's coded to work with a unique set of hardware and bespoke drivers/firmware on Windows. You also forgo any Linux forethought and optimizations that went into the "Linux" code paths.
It's only a "Linux problem" if you're trying to run Linux on hardware that is actively hostile to it. There are plenty of vendors who supply good Linux happy paths in their firmware, using their hardware is the solution to that self-imposed problem.
i.e. don't support vendors whose laptops don't work in Linux.
