From your mouth to Tim Cook's ear, friend.

Macs do allow both of those things.

Valve is even borrowing some of the work done for the Mac version of Linux to add support for Proton on ARM hardware.

Apple allow this kind of thing only on Mac and while also ensuring it does not happen by providing 0 documentation and by not contributing to any outside project. FEX was not made as part of the Asahi Linux project btw. Please inform yourself before making statements
