I never understood this project. Maybe I'm missing something, but the timescale is such that by the time they're done the product isn't even being sold anymore

At least with Panfrost it made more sense bc it still being used

M1 chip laptops can only be bought second hand at this point

Why would the product have to be available new for the project to be worth it? There are still many M1 chips out there, and this helps prolong the usefulness of those chips.
