I don't expect it. Which is why I switched from buying Windows laptops to install Linux and now buy MacBooks where I can expect that absolutely everything will work on day one.

My wife's Macbook can't even go to sleep when it's plugged into a Dell monitor via USB-C. The act of sleeping wakes it up, sounds a ding, then it goes idle and soon will sleep again.

My older Mac Mini can't do the HDMI handshake after booting. If the AV receiver isn't on when the computer boots, it will never use full display resolution or play audio over HDMI.

The idea that Apple products do anything "absolutely" is silly fanboyism.

Not doubting that situation but its pretty rare. Currently use a Macbook for work and home use and can't list a single thing that doesn't work. Which is a first for me from a laptop.

Did they at least add the ability to make the laptops not sleep when you close the lid without external display attached?

There are 3rd party apps that can make it do that. You just have to watch out for overheating since the fans vent out of the hinge.
