This is the attitude I’m referring to when I say “hardcore FOSS”. You can choose to see it as a judgement if you want, but I view it as an implementation detail precluding my use of Guix.

“It’s hard and it’s not worth my time” is totally fine, I don’t expect projects to cater to my needs; but it’s worth calling out that it really seems like your chief complaint is that Apple is not FOSS (aka: proprietary).

I can't build any software for macos without signing a contract and buying their hardware. The fact that it is proprietary is the obstacle here.
