It's fair when you consider the usual value proposition of "do I buy a PC and put linux on it or do I buy a Mac".
But you are right, some people mix these different issues up. My next laptop will come with Linux pre-installed - so I expect to report that all the bits work correctly (except Linux will be running on top of Qubes rather than on the metal, so...)
