> for Apple to embrace Linux because they'd sell a lot more Macs.

If that was the case, I think they'd have done it a long time ago. It is more likely that keeping users on Apple-controlled operating systems brings them more profit



But I can't think of any scenario where that would be true.

Selling more hardware would be profitable, and a user being able to dual boot into Linux wouldn't reduce any revenue.


My understanding is that the sale of hardware alone doesn't make anyone a trillion-dollar company. Selling subscriptions and processing payments does.
