I am not sure why you think "Linux" wants to be used by people. There is no "Linux" in that sense.

The people that want to run Linux on their machines, make efforts in that direction, either by ensuring that the hardware they run Linux on is compatible, or invest time/money in making it compatible. When hardware vendors provide documentation and man power it's "easy", when they don't it's hard or impossible or, like in this specific case, only the basic capabilities of the hardware can be exploited.
