While the M series hardware is impressive and the Asahi project is doing miracles, I myself don't want to support Apple in any way, including buying any of their hardware.

They are also doing a lot of generic work that benefits the ARM platform as a whole. And since Snapdragon X is a fucking mess on Linux, these Apple Silicon devices are actually some of the best cheap hardware you can buy with excellent performance.
You can always get it second hand
While that does support them less, it still drives up the value of their hardware and thus the amount of money others are willing to give Apple for it.
Saving a computer from a landfill is not driving up apple’s margins.
