This explosion of "hacking" is interesting. Like wow I can run X on Y or wow I decompiled Z and I can add feature A and B.

So there is this wow factor, but really we just enjoy mathematic transformations on a greater scale than we used to have just few years ago.

My guess is that the legal system will catch up with it, but also people will get bored.

Like, I can run macOS on thinkpad! Great! but ultimately this is a crap hardware in comparison to Mac. Will it have backdoors, will it be stable? Who will maintain it? and so on.

For me, that's meh.
