That's been the argument for every Linux problem for at least as long as I've been using Linux. WiFi drivers used to suck. To the point that you had to be careful which WiFi card (yes, card) you bought, because only a couple of models worked on Linux at all. This situation took an extremely long time to get better. The same thing happened (and is still happening) with graphics cards. But at least most of them sort of work, instead of outright failing.
As long as enough consumers don't actively demand decent Linux (or BSD, whatever) support, it will never come. I'd suggest voting with your wallets, but with the laptop market being the steaming pile of shit that it is, that's virtually impossible.
The year of the Linux desktop...just like fusion power, is always just around the corner.
Sometimes manufacturers lie to us, though. Like the Thinkpad x1 Carbon was supposed to be "linux-ready," and then it ships with sleep functionality broken for a couple months until they managed to get a BIOS fix through.
I tried to vote with my wallet, but this is what Linux is like /shrug
