> Be apple where everyone else is Linux.

Apple and Linux barely even compete in the same markets. Linux runs on the servers and embedded devices, Apple on the smartphones. Android is technically Linux but not in the "is a good analogy for open weight models" sense because Android is so deeply under the thumb of Google. The main place Linux and Apple actually compete is for PCs and laptops, and that's the market where the thing with 65% market share is Microsoft.

Apple tried to make servers(they were awesome btw) but lost to Linux.

Linux are on more phones than iOS.

It's meaningless to suggest doing what Apple does when faced with Linux when the vast majority of Apple's business isn't competing with Linux. The majority of Apple's revenue is from hardware when Linux is software -- that can run on Apple's hardware.
