I don't know that I'm the best person to ask, my scope is fairly narrow and definitely more Linux-focused (I don't even own a Mac). But, I think inventing a time machine so they can avoid making their partners write articles like this[1] would be a good first step. After that, stop putting out stupid special-snowflake APIs like Metal and adopt industry standards like Vulkan and OpenGL. Then build a 20-year track record of API and OS stability so game devs & users can expect their back catalog to continue to work.
I dunno, man. They've burned a lot of bridges, and they are a small piece of the pie[2]. Not a lot of incentive for people to put up with their BS.
