I bring this up all the time and get downvoted by apple defenders (usually I’m one). Apples policy of locking out 3rd party gpus might be the cause of a serious decline in Mac OS over the next decade. That or devs will start building Linux hosts for their gpus at home.

That doesn't really make sense, if anything the importance of having third party cards is diminishing. Apple Silicon is already massively competitive at running things like Blender and Video Compositors. And the trends are towards apple investing in improving gaming and ML workloads (which they've made large strides towards this year), and the relative attractiveness of other GPUs is going down. Almost all of the signs are pointing at apple making their hardware the place to run on device ml.
