Are you sure? My second-hand thinkpad still won't hibernate properly. It's not a weird model, it's a ryzen-based X13 Gen1 so not even shiny new. You can imagine on a laptop one would want hibernation to just work.

The fault is surely on Lenovo's table... Yet it would work if I was to run Windows (which I don't want to do).

So yeah... Now I have a laptop from a brand which is known and appreciated for linux compatibility, and a basic thing like hibernation does not work.

Well, I think MS took care of that by removing the hibernation option from the start menu. You have to manually turn it back on from the old control panel.
