True, doing this doesn't threaten them, and it could result in a negligible amount of devices sold for this purpose, but I wouldn't be surprised if they saw this as equivalent to jailbreaking, and thus as some kind of breach of the ToS you implicitly agree on purchase.
Though Apple hasn't historically prosecuted individuals for such things, so this likely won't happen.
But it's even less likely they'll officially support, advertise, or even recognize this project in any way.

- nicoburns 4y ago> I wouldn't be surprised if they saw this as equivalent to jailbreaking The difference is that jailbreaking compromises the security of iOS. Whereas some clever apple engineer has setup the M1 MacBooks such that each OS is completely isolated from each other (enforced by dis encryption and the Secure Enclave). The only thing a rogue linux install could do is delete macOS entirely. But there would be little incentive to do so. Installing malware or stealing data is completely blocked.
