Apple helped them and continues to help them far more than anyone wants to admit, the load of anti-apple FUD-mongers.

A real gift would be GPU documentation.
They won't block Asahi Linux and dual booting though, because for now locking down Macs and macOS like that doesn't do much for them.
That said, it's been wildly rumoured and likely true that the Apple silicon team uses Linux to test Apple silicon, because waiting for the Darwin team to add support and makes changes takes too long. This won't be open sourced or released though and is likely not even in a state that can be merged into the kernel.

Running Linux baremetal on Apple Silicon may be 90% there in 5 years if lucky, make 95% in 10 years if super lucky. The last 5% however will never be reached and it will always be second rate compared to macOS.
You just don't buy Apple hardware to run Linux baremetal on it: it doesn't make sense.
