I also think it would be cool to run Linux on my MacBook. But that alone isn't reason enough to add support for it.

Linux runs on over 90% of all production servers on the planet, think about that. If you introduce a change it needs to work and be maintained, if you add something but then later realise you dont have the resources to maintain it you can't remove it. You have created more work for yourself. Relevant xkcd https://xkcd.com/1172/
