> Why would there be expectation they'd do anything more for Linux?

Linux is more complementary, compared to Windows which has been an existential threat to the Mac since the 90s.

I agree with an earlier comment: I don't expect Apple will provide any assistance, but neither do I see it as entirely unlikely.

Windows in the Bootcamp role was also compliment ary, in that it enabled a company or individual worker to consider Ape hardware where Windows was a requirement or desired as a personal preference.

This also enabled those users to spend time in MacOS or switch to virtualizing Windows and may lead to one or more personal purchases for themselves or members of their household.
