As the Hacker News comments say, this seems like a sensible default: when faced with an ARM processor running Linux but not Android, it's probably a Raspberry Pi. That there's a few users running Linux on Apple Silicon is more likely something they did not think of or too small a group to care about rather than intently degrading their experience.
