No info on desktop Macs unfortunately. I wonder if Apple will consider lower cost displays.

Whatever you consider to be Apple’s “nanny fake rules”, you must know by now that the underpinnings of macOS aren’t going to drastically change, so you’re out of luck there. If Linux works for you, stick with Linux and don’t even bother with the Mac.
They, the underpinnings, are changing with every release. Views no longer resizable, help features missing, wack-a-mole usability, security restrictions released that are not ready for prime time (don't work with other Apple apps), features that are NOT user configurable, etc.

Apple's macOS is no longer inclusive in functionality to meet different user's needs, you have to be a user that conforms to Apple's nanny expectations and limited use cases.
