Apple did help with implementing support for ARM CPUs as mentioned in the changelog: "Particular thanks on Homebrew 3.0.0 go to MacStadium and Apple for providing us with a lot of Apple Silicon hardware and Cassidy from Apple for helping us in many ways with this migration." Making sure Homebrew works on ARM Mac devices made sense for Apple. Meanwhile providing money for no reason to Homebrew wouldn't make business sense. As far Apple is concerned, Homebrew works, and providing financial support wouldn't make it work better.

  Try putting on your management hat. Would you approve donating money to some random project that vaguely benefits the users of your platform, with no apparent reason? After all, the Tool seems to work fine and nobody is complaining. You can surely imagine the course of such an initiative inside Apple.

    > some random project that vaguely benefits the users of your platform Be interesting to see what percentage of users actually install Homebrew - I'd wildly stab in the dark about 25-30%, tops?

Well, I think that funding really smart people running really valuable projects tend to make them even more valuable. Besides, there's some cosmic Karmic justice if this happens.

Might provide stability by making it less likely for key maintainers to walk away because they don't have time for both homebrew and their day job.
