This has several reasons:
- The GNU Boot project didn't review all the hardware made by Pusi.sm,
especially because Puri.sm also sell hardware that is out of scope
for the GNU Boot project like USB tokens or SIM cards.
- Reducing the scope to just x86 computers made by Puri.sm instead
doesn't work either because there is no context to the
recommendation.
In harm reduction[1], the Freedom Ladder campaign by the FSF[2], and
the FSF giving guide[3], context is taken into account so that people
can make informed choices based on their constraints and choices.
In practice these approaches make statement like "this computer
respects more your freedom than this other one", or "this is
dangerous because of that and you can reduce harm this way, even if
it's far from perfect" and give context to statements to enable
people to really understand what it means.

[3]https://www.fsf.org/givingguide/
At the end of the day it's also less work and maintenance to just
remove that hardware recommendation statement than to review specific
computers that GNU Boot doesn't even support.
