I'd pay easily let's say $100-200 a year to have linux running on modern apple laptops with full features. I'm sure I'm not alone. Their hardware, "our" OS would be perfect. Well, except notch and lack of OLED - but, reportedly that's in the works too.
Most likely, they have more mini-leds and/or more ability to independently control them. Of course the localized "blooming" of mini-leds is a lot easier on the eyes regardless than the all-around bloom of a backlit display.
(Better for the battery too, if you can keep most of the screen dark.)
