Because then Linux wouldn't run on anything. Same deal for 99% of laptop manufacturers. Most of it is closed and reverse engineered, including ThinkPads.

But Intel and many chipmakers contribute to the Linux kernel

So what? Did Broadcom or Nvidia contribute to the open source drivers you probably use on Linux? How many contributions did Intel make to the Linux kernel from 1991 to 2000 during which the kernel was in the infancy of running on Intel silicon?

Do Intel's micro-arch manuals tell the whole story or do people go to Anger Fog website frequently (https://www.agner.org/optimize/)?

It doesn't matter.

Even then a lot of it was, is or still would be broken if not for those willing to contribute their own time instead of waiting for the vendors' effort.

They contribute some drivers, but not all. There are still some ThinkPads without full functionality on Linux due to closed hardware. Until just a few years ago it was 100% reverse engineered.
