Could also be selective memory. "I can't recall having any hardware related issues since, oh, 2005 or so" --> oh, that issue? Yes, of course I had that, everybody has that, that's par for the course...

The last time I attempted was 2017/18. Pretty plain clone PC desktop - MSI motherboard, ryzen 1600, AMD Radeon 580, etc. I bought a couple a different WiFi dongles to make sure the chipset was supported.

Yet the problems remained. Maybe when people say they had lots of problems and it wasn’t worth their time, take them at their word ?

In which case we can remark Windows and macOS are not without problems either. I do remember having hardware support issues with those this decade.
