Go on, try installing your “free” OS on a Thinkpad, and tell me if you manage to get it running.

I don’t understand how compatibility has anything to do with the cost of something. As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, any operating system requires that you pay money for a compatible device to run it on.
You’re just drawing some imaginary line at Apple computers. But that makes no sense.

Actually, the macOS software license specifically mentions to install macOS only on hardware built by Apple itself. The line is not imaginary lol

Nobody said it did. But it also doesn’t mean that macOS costs money.
