So I looked around and almost all Lenovo, HP and Asus computers are sold with Windows 11 or no operating system. There are a few Chromebooks with ChromeOS. Lenovo have a few workstations with Linux, they are targeting small businesses with them.

Did I miss something?

Wait, "no OS" is an option? How long has that been available? And, do you get a price break compared to putting Windows on?

Would be difficult as 'no-OS' also implies 'No-Crapware' kickbacks for the seller.
