All that, and also -- Apple sets prices about once a year. Meanwhile, the price of CPUs, RAM and graphics cards drops. For any price level that Apple establishes, I can afford a Hackintosh desktop of much greater power or I can save a lot of money and get equivalent power.

Though, to be honest, I don't bother unless there's a particular application which isn't available on Linux.

Hackintosh is a non starter if you are using the computer for commercial use.

Turns out there are some very small niches where it makes sense. Basically, if you need to maintain compatibility with a larger organization but your profit is independent from theirs, and you have necessary technical resources at hand.

Runs on WINE or in a Windows virtual machine.

The latter works fine for me.

That’s it? Great!

Sounds like non-iOS software developers that are stuck on macOS can just hop right off without any problem whatsoever...
