The L component of CIE Lab is not linear, it has a similar non-linearity to sRGB due to one of the aims of the design of the CIE Lab space is to be perceptually uniform.

Yes, but you can certainly linearize that for image operations and much easier than sRGB (which has a nasty change of mapping functions midway).
