I think Dell users are more likely to be impacted because:

1. Dell laptops are reasonably common
2. Many (most? all?) Dell laptops use Intel WiFi chipsets
3. Dell laptops are sold explicitly supporting Ubuntu, meaning that it's 
reasonably more likely that companies or users who want a laptop which works 
with Ubuntu out of the box are more likely to buy Dell than many other consumer 
laptops.

It may be worth noting that this specific bug (and concerns about
general reliability as a result) is inhibiting all other users at my
company from upgrading to 26.04. I would not be surprised if other users
or companies have encountered the same issue but been unable to diagnose
it sufficiently to find their way here.

If dpkg-divert supported diverting directories then at least we could
redirect /usr/lib/firmware/ into /usr/lib/firmware/updates, but alas.
