Supposedly freedom loving open source folk are as susceptible to flashy marketing surrounding Apple’s shiny new thing as any other consumer. I remember how infuriated I got when I saw the Asahi project. Years upon years of hardwork only to get an operating system, which already runs on computers 99% of the userbace relies on, to run on Apple’s fancy new laptop on the bloc, just because. There so no real benefit to actually do it, be we do it still!
