Is that true for preinstalled distros as well? You can buy thinkpads/XPS with fedora/ubuntu preinstalled and I expect that the manufacturer took care that everything works well.

On the flipside, if I install MacOS on a thinkpad (somewhat popular), I would expect problems with battery life, suspend/resume and gpu switching. Same with installing windows on chromebooks.

Idk my Thinkpad works pretty good with Mac. The main pain point is getting the correct wifi card. 35 bucks later and I have an airport card in it that works perfectly. Handoff, airdrop, the whole thing.

Trackpad works as good as in windows, but a Mac one is still better. The touch screen works, and track point works too. Battery life is the same or better than windows because I’m not burning CPU time on background updates unless I chose to.

I haven’t tried a dock, but HDMI out works fine.
