> I'm curious why you think Apple making their hardware work with more operating systems does not benefit their bottom line.

Because they sell and advertise MacOS. Not "compatible with a wide range of OSes" (like say raspberry pis).

People buying a laptop due to goodwill and openness does happen (I bought my framework 13 due to that), but that's not a game Apple has played since Woz left - and for the worse, I think.
