i personally prefer secure hardware at the expense of not being able to play around with other OSes - i am sure i am not alone


You can have both. Users should control the keys. Not an insurmountable problem.


I also prefer secure hardware, but I find macOS completely useless for work.

While I can appreciate that some see other-OSs as something of a curiosity, for many of us it's a big deal-breaker, and it's a shame Apple is not willing to provide their hardware to so many potential clients who simply don't want their software.


What advantage do you see to "secure hardware", I'm unaware of any recent Mac security issue that would have been prevented by it. It gives Apple a lot more control over the device but I don't see any advantage to the user.


One advantage I could see would be lowering value for thieves, if it worked out like locked phones that cannot just be wiped and resold.
