I mean, I was a Hackintosher 10 years. It was nice to be able to stuff $2000 worth of components into a case that I found in a dumpster, but these days I deal with The “apple tax” to not have to put up with my OS treating me like a walking microtransaction.

I will agree that the ram/ssd factory upgrades are horrendously priced. Other than that, I don’t see their pricing as unfair at all.

Depends on where one in the world lives, by the way I was never found of hackintosches rather the standard expansion from LC and Quadras, that aren't a market Apple cares about any longer.

It got really awesome towards the inevitable end. If you had the right hardware, Opencore would give you a rock solid system, aside from some quirks with some apple services.
