Not to get in the way of good snark or anything. But.. Apple isn't _requiring_ that everyone uses MacOS on their systems. But you have to bring your own engineering effort to actually make another OS run. And so far Asahi is the only effort that I'm aware of (there were alternatives in the very beginning, but they didn't even get to M2 right?)

I mean, that's usually how it works though. When IBM launched the PS/2, they didn't support anything other than PC-DOS and OS/2, Microsoft had to make MS-DOS work for it (I mean... they did get support from IBM, but not really), the 386BSD and Linux communities brought the engineering effort without IBM's involvement.
When Apple was making Motorola Macs, they may have given Be a little help, but didn't support any other OSes that appeared. Same with PowerPC.
All of the support for alternative OSes has always come from the community, whether that's volunteers or a commercial interest with cash to burn. Why should that change for Apple silicon?
