It also ignores the question of how:

Apple - Blocked

Android - Pointless without a drop in replacement for Google Services.

Windows- This is possible, but Windows doesn't really have a distribution problem. There's no real need here.

Linux - Again possible, but no real need

To note though, running Android everyday without GMS is very doable, both MicroG and Huawei do it.

Why would "Apple" be blocked? You can run arbitrary software on macOS.

Sure, but that runs into the same issue as Windows in that there's no real need.
