Yea, along these lines, I probably would have been mining bitcoin back in the day on my laptop had I been a windows user. Heck, may have even been a cypherpunk. Alas the allure of apple had me nearly from the start. No regret though; I trust universal plan.
But my question was intended to be a leading one because I no longer am comfortable with that level of trust. Instead now prefer FOSS solutions, and similar arguments can be made for DIY hardware.
