do they come with all the necessary drivers? Or are they hoping they magically appear in the linux kernel after they've sold a bunch?

Sounds like they've already got it running Linux, so...

The more important question is, are they running mainline Linux, close to mainline Linux (like Raspberry Pi, or outdated much modified unmaintainable vendor and device specific fork (like Android phones do).

This doesn't mean anything. The question refers to the kernel version running.
