Meh. For what it's worth, Windows doesn't always do this right either.
In my particular case, I have a HP Elitedesk 800 G4 mini (a small form-factor desktop) that sleeps, hibernates, etc perfectly on linux. Worked ever since it was brand new.
On windows, for some reason, it randomly turns on at night. I've tried deactivating pretty much all I could, including the option to wake up to install updates (and I usually install the updates fairly quickly anyway).
This also happens on an older custom-built PC. Random screen problems (AMD RX card) and / or previously unused USB ports don't work. Everything goes back to normal after a reboot. As this computer doesn't have a TPM, bonus points for the screen turning on bright blue in the middle of the night for bitlocker unlock.
Linux sleeps and hibernates perfectly on all my PCs (all some form of HP elitedesk or probook - I haven't tried those on the custom-built PC).

I haven't had an issue with hibernation on W10. Its likely that you have third-party software/drivers installed that are messing up the OS. Have you tried to troubleshoot?
