I would love to see Apple embark on an OEM program similar to the old clone license of yore.
As an OEM partner (Clevo, Asrock or the like), I can purchase T3 chips (or whatever they'll be called) or whatever silicon IP it takes to bless OEMs to help the Mac platform flourish.
The whole widget philosophy has arguably worked well for macOS, but not so much for the user.
Keep the standards high, but jeez Tim, enable partners to serve the market if you don't care to.

These customers don't buy Apple Care and they don't need the slick retail experience. What they will do is breathe fresh life into a fading platform and bring more people under the tent.
