Why would services put them at odds with an open platform? (I’m pretty sure they use that open platform for many of their services)

Making it harder not to use their services permits them to profit thereby (e.g. via the Apple tax).

Why would an open platform running on their hardware impact service usage at all? Let’s be clear what an open platform on ARM Mac is: people (such as a lot of folks here) who already prefer an open platform and want M-series performance, not a significant proportion of the macOS user base developing a preference for Linux.
