Thats the thing though. The hardware is so good that there are people who would run Linux on the Mac if they could, but since they can't they cave in and just run MacOS. I have an M1 and its so much better than my Linux XPS 15 that I just end up using the M1 (and getting sucked into their eco-system). And this is just their first release!

The main thing would be an iphone, but even counting that I think that they'd make more selling the hardware with a little flexibility than hoping to lure people in. The fact of the matter is that the M1 isn't just a good laptop, it is the best, and the next round will be better. That's enough of a sales pitch that honestly the software might be holding them back.
