And apple "is" vanguard/blackrock, which is msft/google/starbuck!/etc, keep that in mind.

Apple doing open source feels more like PR than anything else (they do "maintain"/"employ the main dev of" cups if I am not mistaken).

And yes, open source is not enough anymore: we need "lean" open source, and that includes the SDK (excluding de facto the ultra-complex c++ and similar).

The real hard part is, once a piece of lean open source is mostly "done", it is to resist planned obsolescence.

That said, I am a "everything in risc-v assembly" (with interpreters of high level languages written in assembly) kind of guy.
