We agree on that, it is inevitable.
Furthermore we are lucky that Apple at least tolerates Asahi and does not throw at them more technical hurdles, legal issues (DMCA?) or whatever. Based on past history (in the 90s, so a lot of management changes) Apple would shut them down if they were a threat to their bottom line. I remember the shortly allowed Mac clones so, a possible scenario: a significant fraction of sold Macs is immediately reinstalled with Linux and provide zero dollars to cloud services and followup sales of other hardware. Apple is not going to like that.
