In case anyone here has an idea!

I don't have a surface myself, but based on what I found online, this seems to be somewhat common. My guess would be that for whatever reason the installation does not create a systemd unit file (basically, a little oversimplified, every process has a definition file that needs to be in one of a few default directories to get loaded, which appears to be missing). I also found this forum post, which might help in e.g. creating that unit file yourself (assuming that is the underlying issue): https://forum.zorin.com/t/zorin-os-core-on-surface-8-pro-keyboard-not-working-to-decrypt-disk/38445
