I'm actually somewhat surprised macOS does not check for the existence of a T2 chip as a precondition.

How would that work for all the hardware Apple has released and still supports that predate the T2?

For reference, the upcoming macOS Catalina still supports the following hardware:

    MacBook Pro (mid 2012 and newer)
    MacBook Air (mid 2012 and newer)
    MacBook (early 2015 and later)
    iMac (late 2012 or newer)
    iMac Pro (2017 or newer)
    Mac Pro (late 2013 or newer)
    Mac Mini (late 2012 or newer)

Apple T1 was introduced in 2016, T2 started showing up with the iMac Pro in 2017, the rest of the lineup got it in the 2018 refresh.

You're right, but at some point support will be dropped for the older Macs and an Apple proprietary security chip will be made mandatory.

DRM will kill the Hackintosh dream. How sad.

I expect that will happen once all the supported devices have a T2. That is probably some way off though as they are still selling new hardware without it, for example the recently updated iMacs.
