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.

That certainly isn't thanks to Apple

Apple gets the credit for designing a bootloader that allows you to run a third party unsigned OS without degrading device security when you do boot into MacOS.

Applying the security settings per partition instead of per device is much more flexible, and you don't have to worry about Microsoft controlling which OS signing keys are valid.

It's uncharacteristic of them and better than nothing. But simply not blocking the installation of a 3rd party OS should be the bare minimum required by law. Ideally Apple would publish documentation on the hardware so it didn't have to be reverse engineered.

Although changes made since have left M3 and newer unsupported by the solution for the first two generations of their design.

Oh thank you master for allowing me to boot a different OS!

Being allowed to run whatever OS you want on your device is a right, not something you should need permission for.

Apple doesn't deserve any credit for that. You should be able to use your hardware in any way you want without asking Apple for permission.
