I mostly agree, but I do think it should be a requirement that the user can install an alternative operating system. On a desktop or laptop, if you dislike something about Windows or macOS, you can install Linux. On most Android devices, you can unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM.

Granted, I wouldn't expect Apple to support a software issue after doing this but at least you could technically use your hardware for anything you want if you're dedicated enough.

If Apple wants Pro developers to buy $10 Pi Zero to run Linux sidecar with $1000 Apple iPad Pro, the least they could do is sell $100 Pi Zero attachment* for $300 Magic Keyboard. Is it too much to ask Apple to give customers what they want for 900% markup?

  *or $100 Apple Linux VM sold in App Store

Just take the money Apple, you can do it! Some hostages will pay the ransom for a Thin, Light, Linux, Apple VM.

Even with EU sideloading, some will pay for Apple VMs.
