Why would they do that?
As others have pointed outed, Microsoft, Intel, Nvidia, etc. are indeed pulling the rug out on the other side (in the name of security).
Locking the Mac down 100% would have zero benefit to Apple and just generate negativity.
You mean aside from system76 or of any of the other Linux first hardware sellers?
> The Asahi developers have also stated that Apple tends to keep hardware peripheral interfaces stable across generations
The Asahi team has made an assumption about apples implementation of mobile chipsets that hasn't had a Linux competitor working to exploit it.
Nothing is stopping apple from rug pulling the project next cycle.
Nobody should be relying on this.
