I think the gains Apple has made in the desktop/laptop market are what
we've always wanted to see Linux do, but it can't because normal
people barely know what it is.  macOS, though, is commercial, and
sleeker than Winbloat, so it offers an alternative people are aware
of.  I would never again buy a Mac, but I like that they offer
something to drive M$ toward a better paradigm, competition works.
Linux remains my style, as a computer nerd, but macOS offers a
similarly functional OS for more mainstream people.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
