> They've never taken issue with other OSes running on their hardware.
What on earth are you talking about, iPads, iPhones and all other new devices from Apple outright lockout any kind of 3rd party OS from booting on them.
MacBooks are the only ones grandfathered into old behaviour of actually allowing 3rd party OSes (although they've also lost the ability to boot Windows in latest generation as well).
It's clear the context of the whole thread is Apple's OS X/macOS based lineage of machines. Also, they haven't lost the ability to boot Windows, seemingly due to licensing issues with Qualcomm, Microsoft hasn't offered a Windows port yet. Of course, one couldn't boot directly into Windows from the previous generation of PowerPC based Macs either...
"They've never taken issue with other OSes running on their hardware." is a false statement even within context of this thread. They've thanken issue with other OSes on their hardware.
Is it any different to the false statement that is "(although they've also lost the ability to boot Windows in latest generation as well)"? The last line specifically refers to macOS. No need to be deliberately obtuse.
