Right. Same goes for MacOS and all of it's convenient software services. Apple might stand to sell more units with a more friendlier stance towards Linux, but unless it sells more Apple One subscriptions or increases hardware margins on the Mac, I doubt Cook would consider it.

If you sit around expecting selflessness from Apple you will waste an enormous amount of time, trust me.

If you don't run macOS, you don't have Apple iCloud Drive, Music, Fitness, Arcade, TV+ and News and that means a loss of revenue.

As I replied in else where here, I do not run any Apple Services on my Mac hardware. I do on my iDevices though, but that's a different topic. Again, I could be the edge case

> I do not run any Apple Services on my Mac hardware

Not even OCSP?

I have no idea what that is, so ???

But if you're being pedantic, I meant Apple SaaS requiring monthly payments or any other form of using something from Apple where I give them money outside the purchase of their hardware.

If you're talking background services as part of macOS, then you're being intentionally obtuse to the point and you know it

You lose out on revenue from people who require OS freedom though

All seven of them. I kid, I have a lot of sympathy for that position, but as a practical matter running Linux VMs on an M4 works great, you even get GPU acceleration.
