I'd make an argument for the opposite if we're talking about the general field. The major OEMs are going head first into enshittification, while other companies are building for more open ecosystems.
For anyone looking for a list of manufacturers intentionally trying to make their hardware more compatible with open ecosystems:
I'm sure there are others, but these are the ones that are deliberately building intentionally FOR mass compatibility, unlike HP, Dell, Lenovo, ASUS...etc.
This is not to say there aren't some models from the major manufacturer product lines that aren't widely compatible, but their main focus is not those products.
Tuxedo Computers from Germany also make PCs specifically for Linux (you can run Windows if you really have to).
