There will be interest in running a stable and sensible version of macOS on Intel Macs as long as there any Intel Macs left around.

People still use PPC Macs to do work: <https://lowendmac.com/2025/skeuomorphic-icons-a-photoshop-pr...>.

People still write new software for System 6: <https://jcs.org/system6c>, <https://amendhub.com/jcs>.

Those are all hobby projects for 20-30yro machines, few of which are left around. There are millions of Intel Macs in excellent shape. Someone will carry the mantle.

We're not talking about Intel Macs. Those are here forever as collectables. I'm talking about the continuing relevance of hackintoshes. Those will soon join the Intel Macs in the annals of history, and disappear as a relevant community.
