If anything this weakens Apple's grip. For example, I would consider dual booting, or even erasing my mac partition depending on how things go with Asahi. I just like the Macbook hardware. The software I'd rather use linux most of the time, especially if everything is working

No, I don't think so. There are about 100 million Mac users. The vast majority of them don't even know what Linux is. No way Apple's "grip" is impacted.

I don't think it harms them financially though. You still have to buy the macbook and I don't think they earn any significant amount of money from you running macOS on it after that, I've bought like one $6 app on the mac app store. Being able to run linux makes me more likely to buy more macbooks in the future and if I can run windows games I'll get the highest-specced one available.

  If they make hardware you like, why would you want them financially harmed?
