No they won't.
It will stop you upgrading to later versions when they eventually abandon Intel support in macOS but even that is a long way off.

I don't think there is much doubt about that.
I'm not sure why it matters though. If you wanna use a nonfree os, do so... But the only reason why Apple hardware usually works well together is because they just support a tiny fraction of available components. Now complaining about having hardware which will likely be out of support within the next 2yrs is strange, considering that is kinda apples core premise.
But he's also saying that building a PC is the nerdiest thing an apple user could do, so it's kinda telling what kind of person he is.
I for one am happy the new Mac mini exist and will likely buy one at some point. It's memory is low, but I already have a beefy workstation if I need to do actual number crunching. Having a secondary system that's quiet and still performant would be nice.
And his computer will likely work, just with an outdated version of the OS, once they eventually drop Intel support — years down the road.
Considered he pirated Apple's operating system, they owe him nothing. He certainly knew the risks going into this.
