Fair, though Wine's coverage is getting pretty good.

It's a different kind of fragmentation. If your distro is really on top of packing (Nixos or Arch+AUR) this is usually a non-issue.

Generally not true, Linux is probably the best at supporting hardware right now - if you look at raw coverage. It does have issue with some audio interfaces, and very niche devices. Maybe you have a huge suite of niche devices for some reason (or maybe just FUD), but I doubt you've actually checked.
If you had made this comment in 2020 I would have largely agreed.

Such as the ecosystem being united and not a fragmented mess even worse than Apple's lack of coordination between teams.
