The average person dont like linux, and if they buy a linux laptop the reason is because its cheaper than the windows one. So why manufacturers still use unknown distros (like lenovo with endlessos) and not something like ubuntu or mint?

    That’s true. It only protects you against a manufacturer who half-asses it by including bloatware/malware that isn’t automatically reinstalled after you reinstall the OS. My own desktop PC has an Asus motherboard that installs Asus software into Windows automatically. I don’t like this trend, but I’d be surprised if they do the same for Linux.
