They're all basically PCs so you can actually still install Linux on them

Not even all PC's play nicely with Linux, especially in smaller form-factors and laptops etc. I've had several laptops with weird hardware that didn't have a proper driver (esp tabletized devices with odd audio, video, or network chipset revisions). My last laptop I had to run a bunch of hacked-up scripts to get the audio working (amp would sleep and not wait) properly until kernel support improved about a year later

Linux is versatile, but one shouldn't automatically assume it'll work on Linux.

Nobody is assuming anything. If you take the time to read the post you responded you'd see that ChimeraOS is tested against these devices and is often patched to support the variances in their hardware.
