If anything, isn't this evidence the vendor should've paid someone to write an ACPI driver for Linux? :-)

No. Unless the hardware had Linux stickers on it.

Why should they? Would they sell more hardware if they did? And why Linux? Shouldn't they write an ACPI driver for Haiku first? Companies do what makes money, period. Activist companies have been almost completely wiped out by this stage of capitalism.
