Not every Dev is a UNIX developer, for some reason this misunderstanding keeps being repeated.
Proton is a betting on the wrong worse, until Microsoft decides to put an end to it, in whatever way they feel like it. They own Windows, and are one of the biggest publishers in the industry, when grouping all studios they own.
Apple margins are too much for economies not on the same level as USA.
I do agree with devices being returned, this happened quite often with netbooks.

Chromebooks seem to be fairly successful, despite [insert xyz app] not working on them.
Gamers are only one case that's currently being solved. Devs are already solved (except for iOS). Creatives are a different story entirely.
If anything, Microsoft's decisions are more likely to boost mac sales than they are to create any kind of meaningful normie migration to Linux. Especially if Apple goes through with the rumored low-cost macbook. That thing will sell like hotcakes, and macOS share is already growing as is.
We are many times more likely to see the "Year of the macOS desktop" than we are the "Year of the Linux desktop"
