Because millions own macbooks and if they support then it can save at least some from obsilescense and e-waste.

This e-waste would not exist if certain people wouldn't buy Apple devices in the first place...

I mean, you don't have to buy it. You can buy whatever you want. Hacking stuff just to see if you can hack it is the majority of the motivation behind hacking in the first place.

Especially when products like the Macbook Neo is surprisingly affordable and offers a halfway decent build quality and performance for its weight class, it's nice to have something like Asahi to make it a real option.
