Can you just connect a external disk into the iPhone and click on "Backup" or it requires more than that?

No, but you also can't do that with a linux computer or any other device. You can easily copy and paste all of the photos onto a computer though.

What's stopping me from setting up a Linux computer to do that?

Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you’re saying, but idevicebackup2 does exactly that.

They make special external disks (that may require an iOS app). I bought some for a friend.

But you can also have it connect to a computer over wifi and auto-backup. Does Google let you do that?
