It’s because Linux isn’t used widely enough. Nobody is gonna put in effort for the sake of 3 random customers.
Comment on I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows
ikirin@feddit.org 2 weeks agoIMO that’s not the fault of Linux per se but of the manifacturers that only provide drivers/software for Windows and then let the community figure out the rest. The end result is the same just due to a different cause.

I really hope the Steam suite pushes the tide.

Sadly most manufacturers still don’t care about linux support. If you are lucky sometimes there’s a community alternative. But even then some of the advanced features may not work.
What you can do is check on their website which drivers they have available, and avoid buying stuff that doesn’t have Linux support when possible.
With more adoption I hope that it becomes increasingly available, although in practice I’ve seen several products drop their Linux support due to low users. 😢
