If you’re a macOS fanboy presumably you don’t care about Linux support.
Read my previous comment again!! If you buy a genuine display and install it, it won't work because Apple locks the hardware ID via firmware. It must be installed by Apple only.
No other vendor does that, the Linux community always found its way to get a non-supported hardware working.
Windows until recently with the AI slope, was the only major OS used everywhere so why many vendors only have Windows driver, I understand theirs "Why bother?"
Apple publishes repair guides for this (e.g., https://support.apple.com/en-us/120768) as does iFixit. Genuine parts are available for purchase and tools are available to rent by individuals (see https://support.apple.com/self-service-repair, which specifically mentions display replacement). Skill and patience are required; replacement by Apple is not.
Which year?? It used to be like that, no anymore.
It is public knowledge that Apple has locked its hardware via firmware. It must be performed by authorised only. You can check YT, that guy in the USA that defends the "right to repair" movement, etc.
Which has dwindled in number so much as to practically not be problem anymore. There is even a Linux-only or Linux-first attitude with some vendors.
Buying Apple to run Linux borders on stupidity nowadays because of the vast better options fit for purpose.
Like buying a gasoline vehicle then complaining it can't run on diesel. It wasn't designed to.
