They have shut that down by moving into their own CPUs.

As long as they support Intel Macs, they did not

I give it two years tops, for the last macOS release with x86 support.

As a long time hackintosher (since Leopard) who converted to Apple Silicon recently - not looking back :)

The problem with this is licensing: the macOS SDK license says that it's only to be used on an "Apple-branded computer". That said I wonder what Apple would do if this is used outside of that case...

I used a Hackintosh for a number of years and Apple could have easily shut down the entire community with enough cease and desists. In fact there were engineers that helped provide valuable information. They don't mind what people do for personal use. Just don't try and turn it into a commercial product.

Any source or further information for what makes you say there were engineers that that provided information? I always suspected some of the people in these communities were engineers but never discovered anything for my thoughts to make it past just being suspicions.

How much could a branding iron cost?

It's cooler to use liquid nitrogen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeze_brand

I don't think that works as well on computers.
