You don't have to support "legacy stuff", just make sure a modern linux kernel can boot without apple-specific workarounds

Why should Apple care if a modern Linux kernel boots without workarounds on their hardware? Should they also ensure Windows and Android can boot on the hardware easily?

    To sell more hardware?

    Obviously I get your point, but there's a bunch of customers who would like good ARM hardware but can't accomplish their work with macOS. It's not like Apple needs this tiny market, but it wouldn't hurt them either.

      Citation needed.
