content: I loved apple when they got Intel cores and aluminum bodied laptops.   Since then it's been mostly bullshit to keep investors appeased.    We still have brew and they will likely be alternatives but the recent push to the app store, which you can't just sign up with a giftcard anymore, made me look at linux on my macbook.   I have a 2018 retina pro that's collecting dust because I can't get anything to run on it but macos and windows.   The app store push is going hand in hand with the inability to run 3rd party OSes and that's something that'll eventually pinch apple back into single digit market share like the 90's.
