When I was tasked with buying laptops for a company, I made sure to test Linux compatibility on every machine. If the model didn’t support Linux, we didn’t buy it.

Most of the devs were windows users, but there were enough devs and sysadmins that preferred Linux that it just made more sense to only buy hardware that supports both windows and Linux. I’m sure a lot of tech companies have a similar policy (it’s one reason think pads are so ubiquitous)

Corporate pressure would never allow such lockdown in the market
