Apple actually have shown that they can make cheap computers like Macbook Neo, but I doubt they want to make computers that allow freedom of Linux, hell even Windows. Gaming is also non-existent on Macbooks, because for some they want to use their own graphics API (Metal), although some kind of a translation layer (MoltenVK) exists, but I have no idea how good it is.
fyi: you can install linux on a mac
Sure, but don't they work just on M1's mostly, and not everything works?
m1/m2 currently. m3/4 in the works so yeah not the latest release cycles
most things work tho, im using it as daily driver for software engineering just fine
