    I don’t understand how compatibility has anything to do with the cost of something. As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, any operating system requires that you pay money for a compatible device to run it on.

    You’re just drawing some imaginary line at Apple computers. But that makes no sense.

      Actually, the macOS software license specifically mentions to install macOS only on hardware built by Apple itself. The line is not imaginary lol

        Nobody said it did. But it also doesn’t mean that macOS costs money.

            I only ever had one: macOS is free. That is factually, correct

            And no one here has been able to prove otherwise in anyway. And no, “something else cost money so this cost money, even though it’s free“ is not a valid argument.
