No, they're realists.

Plus show me an off the shelf solution to MDM that exists in the Linux space? (Not too mention an easy to buy consumer devices which supports suspend/resume correctly in 2026, not even Windows can do that any more)

Apple is crap and evil about many things, but at least here they know their paying audience...

One case where Apple can be very useful is if you're traveling a lot for work.

Wherever you are you can probably find a local store that sells and services Macbooks. So if your machine is damaged during a trip you can get it fixed, or buy a replacement on the spot, and at least get through the work you are there to do.

For small-ish companies that can be a very useful feature.

Lots of Lenavo laptops do just fine, but Apple hardware is still supreme for what it is worth.

Jumpcloud, I've used it across Windows / Mac / Linux end user desktops and laptop fleets.
