That is not how the economics of laptops work.

Most people don't want a Linux laptop. Call it inertia, but it is a fact that most people buy Windows laptops.

Most of the premium market consumers prefer Apple.

And most people who prefer Linux aren't paying a premium right now.

So you have three sets that do not overlap, and there is nothing the community can do about that in the short to medium term, anyway.
