A comment on Apple Unveils MacBook Pro Featuring M2 Pro and M2 Max. Parent comment
That is not how the economics of laptops work.
Most people don't want a Linux laptop. Call it inertia, but it is a fact that most people buy Windows laptops.
Most of the premium market consumers prefer Apple.
And most people who prefer Linux aren't paying a premium right now.
So you have three sets that do not overlap, and there is nothing the community can do about that in the short to medium term, anyway.
