Apple will never commoditize its own stuff.

They're perfectly willing to ruin the lives of countless devs / CI/CD devs, who have to support their crappy platforms, because you can't virtualize MacOS (only AWS can, and even then, it can only be rented in 24h increments at super high prices).

Apple controls the end users, their end users have money so devs just have to come crawling to be able to make and sell their apps.

I’ve used Anka for running macos VMs with good success. So much so that we replaced all our bare metal workloads with portable and repeatable environments. The trade offs are performance related and bugs with the VM tech but those are less costly than managing the bare metal.
