The state of Linux on laptops, including from OEMs shipping devices with it, is the reason why around Windows 7, I ended up using VMWare Workstation instead, with exception of a netbook, now gone.

WSL just made it easier not having to depend on VMware or Virtual Box.

The other devices get bought with WebOS and Android, just work.

Linux has gotten a lot better and windows a lot worse in the fifteen years since 7 came out. I'm forced to use Windows 11 for work and I have many, many issues with it that just aren't present in Linux.

And many others keep being present in Linux when trying to use it on laptops, even laptops that are shipped with Linux pre-installed hardly support 100% of the hardware.

Even ChromeOS doesn't fully support GNU/Linux when running Crostini, https://chromeos.dev/en/linux/linux-on-chromeos-faq
