Linux on laptops is probably a statistically insignificant minority of all Linux deployment. Number of people using hibernation is even smaller.
I think biggest deployments of Linux - mobile phones and cloud servers - do not use hibernation. No problem in accepting memfd_secure() for them.

I've written this comment on a laptop running Linux, but I'm aware of wider perspective. Incidentally, I haven't had need to use hibernation for past half a decade or so.

Some clouds are starting to use hibernation. E.g. EC2: https://aws.amazon.com/ru/about-aws/whats-new/2017/11/ama...

That's true for guest, but there's the other half – actual hypervisors running on bare metal. I bet they do not hibernate.
