I'm not sure their motives for this choice, as their means of disabling as much of ME as possible is ME cleaner, which is not tied to distros.
I don't see why you can't attempt to do it manually yourself, without the aid of their driver and firmware update tool. Except that you might forfeit any warranties/support.
System76, can you clarify?
Sadly it's standard to only see official support for Ubuntu or RHEL in the Linux world. Not that I don't understand, it's all very fragmented, and that creates a lot of work as to support multiple distros. People are working on remedies, though.
