Well, I do hope for this, because there is market for Linux so somebody will pick this up :)
That's actually, just douchebaggish and evil if you think about it, a perfect HN comment :D
I'll upvote your comment for that :)
That being said, I'll probably just find another platform if that happens, some SBC that can run linux, heck, we're almost at the point where it's realistic to build a good-enough computer out of whatever Atmel chips you can get free samples of :)
It is an immense effort to make proprietary hardware to work well, specially Apple hardware.
But there is already companies selling computers with linux pre-installed like system76, dell and others.
