Which components are hackable? The closed-source kernel? The closed-source userspace libraries? The Internet service infrastructure (iCloud &c.)? The outdated versions of open-source software?
You have root, and you can build your own enclave of open-source code doing as you desire, but this is true of pretty much any system--certainly it's true on Windows, at least.

Linux is many (good) things, but up until this point in time, "convenience" is not a word I would associate with it. macOS and Windows own that world.
