You do realize Apple makes next to nothing on the hardware these days.
The software is their profits. So if you aren't using MacOS, they don't
make money, so why should it bother them if you use someone else's hardware?
If they don't want to support us, let's spend our time working on other
stuff rather than trying to persuade them. RMS originally hoped computer
companies would pay him to write emacs and gcc, but decided to write
those programs rather than spend his time looking for support.
