Found this to be fairly click-baity.

If it doesn’t run MacOS natively, it won’t affect my purchase decision or that of, for instance; the thousands of people in my fields of iOS development and Logic/Final Cut users.

I run a hackintosh for fun, but I’d never purchase a non-Apple laptop to do iOS development on.

It’s a cliche, but ‘just works’ is very important when I need to support a new iOS version and don’t want to worry about upgrades.

People who buy MacBook Pros are likely buying them specifically for a set of specific use cases.

Furthermore, the upcoming speed increases and cost decreases that come from the ARM switch should make this fairly irrelevant.

Also, it’s slightly pedantic, but he talked about the ‘killers’ and then only provided one example. They could have at least provided more than one comparative set of statistics.
