   Imagine how big Apple would/could be if they embraced open hardware. They do have a moat here. macOS is so bloated, I hate it, but the hardware is just so much better than anything else.

      Apple is a vertical company. They don’t WANT to sell you hardware. They don’t want to sell you software.

      They only want to sell the whole package. You might as well ask the Catholic Church to start a rap music 8-track only record club. Same probability.

      The hardware is a means to an end, and nothing else to them.

            Oh, I’m sure they exist. There’s Christian versions of any genre you can think of. That’s partly why I ended up adding in the 8-track part, to make it more ridiculous.

            Maybe I should have made it Mongolian gangster rap.

               That has to exist, right? Especially a rap genre - gotta stay hip with the kids to save them from Satan&#x27;s influence.
