Don't be curmudgeonly. Thoughtful criticism is fine, but please don't be rigidly or generically negative.

In a better world.. goog could be as helpful towards grOS as aapl towards asahi. But "anything that doesn't detract from selling hw is fine" can't make it into goog's once-aspirational "knowledge economy" business calculus. (Legal considerations contribute further inertia)
I think though, "write-only" third-party contributions are a necessary evolutionary step towards a more balanced ecosystem, so lack of an open reference could lead to the needed experimentation, both legal and technical
I've not kept up with Asahi, but how is Apple helping Asahi? My surface level understanding was Asahi was reverse engineering everything and Apple is offering 0 help/support.
Depends on your definition of "help".
Apple doesn't support Asahi specifically but did build in the capability to boot another OS and intentionally does not block it.
