I won't buy non-Thinkpad laptops because I'm reasonably assured that they'll work with Fedora, but IME desktop hardware has a much higher chance of Just Working.

Who are "they", and why would they care about someone's demands? Don't get me wrong, I got bitten by some of these issues occasionally, too, but Linux is not an actual product I pay for. It's a bunch of free code. I can choose to contribute or not, but I can't expect that anyone is obliged to care about my demands.

This is a straw man argument. I wasn't making demands, never claimed Linux wasn't free, and never said anyone was expected to care about my situation.
I just said until they (contributors, obviously) have a better solution, I'll choose to pay for a desktop environment that suits my needs.

But why pay Apple tax for a Mac when you can pay $0 extra for a Thinkpad/Thinkstation that's certified tested to run multiple GNU/Linux distros well, or a Dell XPS “Developer Edition” or System76, Purism, or similar laptop with one preinstalled, and not be 'jerked around by' a single company?
I hate getting jerked around by Apple but not as much as I hate driver issues.
