I agree!

Who cares about macOS other than stupid fanboys and mentally damaged people with money? Their hardware is okay, their software is pure CRAP.

There's apparently some niche situations where a Mac makes practical sense apart from demonstrating your social standing, but I'm not very familiar with them (I think maybe some niche video editing?)

MacBooks still have the lead when it comes to battery life, and not having any performance degradation on battery (though battery life takes a hit during heavy loads, expectedly).

This is a pretty shortsighted view. Mac users exist and they are wanting to play games in it. Codeweavers sees enough business value is providing a product that satisfies that demand and funds upstream Wine development which Linux users also benefit from. There is no downside to anyone in this arrangement.

Oh, I agree. Let's get the money from rich boys, so we Linux nerds can enjoy games with Wine

Makes sense when you create both your own hardware and software.
