It's because GM has deep pockets and doesn't want to pay one of their competitors a licensing fee to stay competitive.

MacOS is actually not a BSD as some people like to think. It is Unix, it used to be posix tested but it has never, ever been a BSD. MacOS is based on the mach kernel, a kernel that was intended to replace the BSD kernel for a GPL licensed Unix. Most of the people who wanted a GPL Unix just went with Linux in the end. We are still waiting to see what Hurd has to off though. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mach_(kernel)

This is one of the only things I can find talking about it, but I'm sure I used Google maps with GPS on SymbianOS.

I had Google maps on my Nokia SymbianOS phone before the iPhone was released. It worked just as well as modern version but was I little clunkier to use without a touchscreen. I'm pretty sure that Palm Treos had it as well. There where also some other options, I kinda remember Garmin selling map packs for Palm devices. Smartphones existed before android and iPhone, even if they weren't as widespread they were catching on with the broader consumer before the iPhone was released. You saw more more people getting blackberries for personal use instead of just business.

Check out Withings. Not open, but they are pretty good on respecting privacy and check the boxes you want. withings doesn't do the full screen app stuff, but it's a good watch with all the smart features.

TrueNAS

I hate this. I'm pretty sure this gave me PTSD somehow.

Non-standard keyboard layouts. Custom kernels. Nah, I tried to rock a Chromebook but it sucks. What I really want is for arm or riscV to grow the fuck up and make an open pc platform. x86 wasn't meant to be open from the beginning, but market forces and other reasons forced it open. We need the same thing for other architectures.

I want an arm laptop for work. I almost always use web apps or SSH or RDP. I don't need or want a lot of power in my laptop, but fanless and big battery life sounds great.

AMD. Maybe Qualcomm in the near future. AMD Ryzen chips are pretty damn good.

Can I join the club, I use 9front

I love seasonic PSU. They are the among the best IMO and all my personal machines use them.
