I like to save them for a rainy day when I need an OCD fix.
I’m here!

Agreed. I’ve probably got 100 keys registered with GitHub and 98 of them the private key is long destroyed due to OS reinstalls or whatnot. Format machine, new key. New machine, new key.
Because every OS they ship with they need to support. Lenovo already has a viable, cost effective, support model for endlessos because they ship and support it for educational customers.
It’s not commercially viable for them support other OS that there is near no demand for relative to their overall sales.
Your assertions are not supported by industry analysis.
While this years survey is closed, the results haven’t been published. In last year’s survey, MacOS slightly edged out Linux, moving to second place.
Aka PATA or IDE hard disks. Basically consumer grade kit.
The statement that the kernel would only ever handle IDE was basically a confession that this would never be a product suitable for enterprise or professional use where SCSI was the typical interface.
In addition to the reasons already mentioned, Apple has a requirement that applications have a novel component. While it’s often questionable as to what is considered “novel” Weather applications get contrasted against the built-in weather app. If the app simply duplicates the functionality it will be rejected.
Don’t have a solution for everything but did want to mention that brew is as viable for Linux as it is for MacOS, except for casks. I tend to use an Ubuntu or Debian base layer and then use brew to pull in all the packages that I know I will always want later and more diverse options than what’s available in the distro, e.g. ffmpeg, Python.
A key factor is LINUX has been available for ARM since nearly “the beginning”. Unlike Windows, which was basically Intel only for well over a decade, LINUX has had strong support for multiple architectures throughout its lifecycle. As a result, software that grew up within that ecosystem tended to be more agnostic in design which helps porting efforts.
Relative to what? Relative to LINUX on Intel? Relative to Windows on ARM?
Instead of embracing open standards they made Metal.
Did DirectX become an open standard when I wasn’t paying attention?
We’ve got nobody to blame but ourselves for that.

That’s what I’m not understanding. Willing to pay what? They’re not paying commission because they don’t owe anything. It’s not a matter of price being high or low. Why would they pay for something that they don’t have to pay for? Their cost is zero.
Are you of the belief that devs get to say, “I’m poor, I can’t pay”. Can’t really understand what your comment is implying.
Least expensive is Virtualbox or UTM.
Simplest is Parallels.
My Nextel back in the 90s had the same type of extended battery. Thick as hell by today’s standards but it didn’t actually fit better or worse in my pocket or my hand. Also didn’t feel like I needed an external case just because it might slip out of my hand at any second.
As much as I like my thin devices, all batteries should be user replaceable without the need for disassembly of any kind.
The deck uses a SOC… putting aside the fact that it directly soldered to the motherboard you can’t replace these components individually. The only possible approach would be an entire motherboard swap.
If Joe hasn’t been provided the binaries from RedHat they’re under no obligation to provide the sources.
And the sources can easily be obtained from the upstream, same place every other distro provider get’s them.
And plenty who don’t know you can GNU without Linux.
