Does the mic work in any of these? I found it to be impossible

You have to change the profile from "headphones" (high quality audio) to "headset" to have a microphone. It's a matter of a few clicks.

I'm just pointing out that Apple was doing something different. As far as that being not viable for Linux to take off... well, I respect your opinion.

The instructions you linked state that to connect Airpods one needs to:

Set ControllerMode = bredr or ControllerMode = dual by editing /etc/bluetooth/main.conf file using sudo nano /etc/bluetooth/main.conf command (or another text editor of your choice)

sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart

Try to pair again.
