It's even more of a favor if the bugs aren't just linux-only. But if they're in gfx drivers like the tweet implies and auto-reported, the only thing you'd really care about is "newest drivers?" Same as the parade of crashes in Windows for the same reason, you want to just tell people to update.
They've added another driver to a long list of blocklisted drivers that cause issues with the hardware acceleration. Nothing about that list is Linux-specific, as it includes a bunch of macOS and Windows drivers as well: https://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/gpu/config/...
Between a crashy browser thanks to a crappy driver and a stable browser without hardware acceleration, browsers will always just take the latter route. Don't like it? Run it with a flag and expect it to be a little less stable. That's it. You absolutely can't blame neither the browser nor the platform for that, only the vendor of the driver (or in this specific case NVidia, since it's actively hostile to the vendor).
