I think that this is just the reality. Linux is not Windows, and each has their issues. I run an Arch based distro so that I can get new changes as soon as is reasonable without needing to go to user repositories, but some things still lag behind Windows because there is no corporate motivation ($) to build those features for Linux.
I've changed my workflow and mindset about what I need to do and how to get there in Linux. This involves making tradeoffs when Linux can't do things the same way, or at all. I think this is a common experience.
My earbuds' firmware can only be updated with a Windows app. My tax software only works in Windows. I have to use a Windows VM for those.
There are online games I can't play with friends. I use FreeCAD instead of Autodesk stuff, I made sure that I can use the slicer for my 3D printer in Linux before buying it, and so on.
Realistically, I can't be the change that I want to see, so I live with it. For me, it's still worth it.
