The nice thing about the Hackintosh was the upgradability/repairability. Wishing Apple would bring some of that back.

They are not bringing anything good back. They were a nice company like 30 years ago.
That reputation held for damn long, then they killed it and created a new one of “being luxury crap for successful success”, and during the transition used both.
Now it’s just luxury crap. I don’t know how there still are Apple users who are not after that.
When some people talk how “but it’s a Unix so you can do Unix things” - with a huge pain in the butt over Linux, and there are plenty of variants of “install once and don’t care after” with Linux. As in “plenty”.
In general, I think the concept of trademark has gotten old. Same with patents. These allow companies to just abuse their past reputation and also sue anyone trying to do business in the niche their past self has created.
Or maybe trademarks are fine, but patents … when they were a good thing, new inventions were patented for some period of time. Now they patent interfaces and solutions where no new invention happened.
All these protections are needed, but the system making them has gone AWOL. We need direct democracy.
