I've never had that problem with a Thinkpad.

Lucky you! There are thousands of ThinkPad models and they're not magically exempt from this issue:

(Not a new issue... here's the problem on an R60) https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/475968/thinkpad-vol...

E14 Gen4 https://forum.manjaro.org/t/thinkpad-e14-gen4-special-keys-m...

E14 Gen2 issues https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/609942/thinkpad-spe...

T510 issues https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=268269

It just takes a cursory glance of search results to see that your ThinkPad experience is not everyone's.
