My suspicion is that it's less about the politics of open source and more
about economics.  The asian companies don't have the name recognition or
the bundling arrangements with the PC manufacturers.  To increase their
market share they need to find something that makes them worth adopting. 
Support for additional operating systems, especially those currently
underserved by the US manufacturers, is a good way to stand out.

Market differentiation has always been a strong business practice.
