maybe once they allow me to actually own my hardware (let me install whatever software I want (linux))

It's not really Apples job to build a copy of Linux for their hardware. You want it, you build it. There's nothing stopping it running.

I'm sorry how is Apple not allowing you? You are free to run whatever YOU want on it. Just because something YOU want isn't created, well that isn't apple or anyone else's problem. You should build what you need instead of expecting someone else to do it for you just because you demand it.

You're using the term "own" in a non-standard way to make your point.

When you buy a Mac, part of the deal is that it runs macOS. However, you still own the Mac. You can loan it to others or sell it. You can sleep with it under your pillow.

If you don't like the deal, then don't buy it.

Apple does allow this. It’s just the issue of finding software to install.
