| They were only a thing to do ci/compilation related to apples os because their walled garden locked using other platforms out. You're building an iPhone or mac app? Well your ci needs to be on a cluster of apple machines. |

| It's in a similar vein to the PS2 linux cluster or someone trying to use vape CPU's as web servers... It might be cost effective, but the supplier is still saying "you get no support, and in fact we might even put roadblocks in your way because you aren't the target customer". |
