I get that. But it's a platform that is so similar to existing Linux on ARM offerings.

All the subsystems to run a laptop should already be there, no?

ARM isn't consistent in the way that the x86 platform is. Each vendor's SoC usually requires specific support.

Nothing about the CPU architecture itself requires that. They can run a standard UEFI/ACPI stack.
