Not at all. All Linux distributions essentially run the same software with different packages and configuration files. There are a few either/or choices they make, but it’s mostly overlap with very little disro specific software.

If Linux software starts widely adapting more dark patterns it will probably impact users across all distributions.

I share that concern, but again: if more people move to Linux, maybe (?) more people will become advanced Linux user and maybe (?) it will bring more activity into advanced distros.

Not that I believe it will necessarily be good, but I'm not sure it will necessarily be bad. Could go both ways, IMO.
