I would be surprised if any of the laptop vendors did that. There is no profit motive for them to prevent other chipsets from working and it takes extra code. Now it would be possible that some wifi pcie cards do not work with the laptop chipset/slot wiring so you might be best picking an older wifi (like the ax200 instead of the ax201). ax200 have worked on 2 machines I have from 2016 up to 2023. But I do think someone attempted to put a ax201 in their laptop and it did not work. I can see someone claiming/theorizing that was a blacklist with no proof of an actual blacklist, and the most likely reason is a pci-e bug between the 2 cards. Years ago one of the early 10gbit intel pcix card's did not work with intel chipset but did work with an AMD cpu chipset. No reason for it to not work but likely there was a chipset bug on the intel motherboard that did not work right with some feature the pcix card needed.
