But also Linux, where it’s typical to upstream hardware support and rely on existing ecosystems rather than release addon drivers or niche supporting apps.

Still possible though, right?
It does afterall support out of tree device drivers now.

    Sure... but why would el cheapo hardware want/need to support proprietary drivers? Now, for premium hardware and software, they might still want vendor lock-in mechanisms... So unless you absolutely have to, you should avoid hardware on Linux that needs proprietary drivers.
