Except you pulled this out of thin air. There's more evidence to support the earth will be wiped out by a meteor than their is evidence Apple will lock down their macOS hardware. Your entire argument is predicated on vibes.

If you don’t think a for profit hardware company which also makes operating systems will never think about making it so only their software can run on their hardware, I don’t know what to say to you. They already do this with iphone/ios. It is possible they do with mac/osx. Im not saying it is guaranteed, I am saying it is possible. And I am also saying it is much more possible than a meteor wipes us out in my lifetime. If you disagree with that, fine.

I am pretty sure I will be vindicated by Asahi never being relevant.

They launched this platform with those restrictions, they didn't add them after the fact.

It's statistically less probable than a meteor wiping life on Earth - so my point stands that that Asahi team would be more concerned with a rogue orbital than it needs to be about Apple locking down the Mac ecosystem.
