Re: I don't see why Apple would stand in the way of this
Apple sells around 18m laptops a year. Support for Linux would not increase sales by even a percentage point.
The attraction for Apple in allowing Linux (that is, allowing non-secure boot) would to be to avoid entanglement in accusations of monopolistic practices by US hardware and software manufacturers, practices the EU has been traditionally keen to prosecute and China may be increasingly keen on pursuing.
