Marcan, in case you are not aware, is one of the people behind Asahi. The only speculation here is yours. Parties directly involved have said otherwise. Hector Martin appears to have given up posting here exactly because of this kind of bullshit. Besides, even if Apple did come out and say it, you'd still trot this nonsense out.


Marcan is directly involved in the reverse engineering. He is not involved in Apple's decision making on what they want to allow on their precious platform, which they tend to really lock down in every possible way.

No. Apple saying, unofficially, they welcome Microsoft, and Apple coming out and saying they love Linux and want it, would be different. That wouldn't be any guarantee that they won't change their mind or are just hypocrites, but it would still be more meaningful than "technically it's possible, there is no official anything (only an official welcome to MS Windows, but sure, Apple absolutely want Linux on Mac to be a thing".
