This is why we should be hostile to Swift being used outside of the Apple ecosystem.
To all the folks trying to make Swift server development compelling: please stop. Use Golang or Rust instead.
Apple is an antagonist of other platforms/ecosystems, and there's no reason to believe they won't use Swift to force developers to buy and run Macbooks.
Edit: Would the multitude of downvoters provide a counter argument? Why should we tolerate this behavior from Apple?
I'm upset when other companies use the same playbook. There's an equal opportunity for all companies to behave better here. As it stands, I do not support this.
