> I wish things had turned out otherwise, and we didn't have to choose between buying a Mac without Linux support and buying a 3-5 year old Mac with Linux support. And I expect that as time goes on, Asahi will just fall further and further behind.

IMO your expectation is correct. Such is the fate of all reverse engineering projects, or more generally, all heroism-based projects. Heroism is not sustainable. A sustainable business model is sustainable.

There is no reason heroism cannot be a sustainable business model. Social entrepreneurship, B-corps, even Patagonia or Ben & Jerry's embed environmental or social activism directly into their core strategy and values.
