If Apple goes thru with this, I will stop buying macbook pros for myself and stop my employer from buying them. That would be roughly 4000 purchases every 3 years.
I'm playing it by ear - I want to see how the new machines fit with my needs before I make that sort of decision. I suspect I'll be moving away from Mac, though.
In any case: on general principles, I'm planning to migrate some things out of the Apple ecosystem - that way I can move across OSes with less pain. The biggest pain point is my passwords... I've been just using Apple's Keychain for the last decade plus. I've started the long, tedious transition over to BitWarden. It'll still work if I stick with macOS, but it'll also work should I decide to switch to Linux (or, Lord help me, Windows).
