What is stopping anyone from selling a laptop with linux on it and as little support as they do for windows ?

Nothing, and so they do. Dell will sell you an XPS 13 with Ubuntu installed. Lenovo will let you select Ubuntu or fedora in some models. System76 and Tuxedo will sell you a bunch of laptops only with Linux. Starlabs sells Linux laptops. KDE sells a laptop. Purism sells Linux laptops.

Did you just assume no one sells a Linux laptop?

Never saw one at costco or wallmart or staples.
