The upside to Linux is when one of these kinds of changes happen you have the freedom to modify or swap out components to your liking.

The downside to Linux is nobody actually wants to constantly modify or maintain components to their liking and nobody can agree what a good liking is so nobody likes the way somebody else does it.

Yeah and you can only do that if you have student-level free time. I used Linux as a student. I could keep it mostly working. Now I have a job and children and I like my laptop to last longer than 2 hours and connect to WiFi reliably.

My computer is has been on the wifi for the last 5 days it's been on?

Good for you. I'm not saying that WiFi etc. never work on Linux. Just that they often don't work, have annoying bugs or require complicated workarounds.
