Nothing but common sense for the likes of them

If their suppliers can look after opening up the drivers for the components they supply, there is no downside and only potential ease of support upsides if they decide to officially support Linux on that hardware. If they don't, there will still be users who do it anyway and they'll have a better user experience.

It's all good :)
