That was definitely the point -- well, two points. (1) there isn't any Apple Silicon-level Linux hardware right now, (2) Apple would benefit from more competition. In this particular case, it's the inverse of the usual Linux desktop argument, because the argument is the Linux desktop is pretty good, it needs hardware to match it, rather than "Linux needs to totally (or greatly) change."
