That's what Apple did. In the 90s Apple donated a shit ton of original iMacs to my (public but in a wealthy neighborhood) k-12 school. One computer for every three students, and there were computers set up in the library students could use before and after school - and this was during an era that if you had internet at home, a phone call would kick you off, so a lot of people used those iMacs a lot. Many of my former classmates seem to have stuck with the Apple ecosystem as adults.
