>In my experience, installing alternate OS's on Mac hardware has never been frictionless or satisfying anyway.
It would be if they take some effort to support it.

Oh, definitely. But the Linux (or alternate OS) fans are not really on Apple's radar. OTOH, they do a good job of keeping some core binaries up-to-date, like zsh and Vim, and they did appeal about getting good compile times during the M1 release event, so they consider POSIX users part of their target market.
Last I checked, I can compile and deploy an iOS app without the need for anything POSIX.
