> As much as I love Hackintoshes, they can be a huge time sink if you want 1-1 feature parity with an equivalent Apple product.

Although this is broadly true it can generally be avoided by using proven hardware and premade EFI folders, which is what I've always done. I have no interest in spending time getting things working but there are many options available that don't require it. Most people in this boat are those with existing hardware who are determined to get it working.

> Hackintoshes make for great fun projects where you do not rely on that computer for day-to-day operations.

I run my Hackintosh 24/7 and it stays up for months on end. I've had very few unprompted crashes over the years. The reliability of the hardware is entirely based on what you buy.

> Though the ability to Hackintosh may soon be impossible with newer OS versions. It is only a matter of time since Apple is moving away from Intel x86 processors, which is part of what allowed Hackintoshes to be possible in the first place.

The Intel transition will have little effect on Hackintohses for now. Apple is likely to support their Intel products with updates until about 2030 and then you can keep using them for many years thereafter. Most people will be fine for at least 10 years.
