The quip against Windows users is besides the point of the article:

Anyway it's not as if the Linux laptop user experience in general were much better.
Yeah, that's not shocking. Linux uses the Intel ACPI infra, whereas Windows uses Microsoft's. It's as good as they can do, but it's not going to be possible to perfectly replicate Windows, let alone improve such clearly buggy firmware, at least generally.
It is possible on Linux to override some of the firmware (most notably the DSDT, e.g https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DSDT because so much hardware is broken). So, if you can make or get a fixed version, you should be good. A wholesale replacement of all the ACPI assets, though, seems unlikely. I could well be wrong, though.
Anyway, in this case, I suspect the poster was advocating for Macs.
