I'm very surprised people are really taking advice from freaking Twitter for how to handle a silicon hardware company. Also the lack of empathy for fellow developers, but that's a sadly rising sentiment. Crabs in a bucket.
The only reason Twitter isn't a dead husk is because network effects are really damn strong. That's it. The attrition to Bluesky or Mastodon or whatever won't be as drastic as the Myspace days when single percentages of the current internet populace were connected.
You don't get network effects with hardware, especially since most people these days buy laptops and won't bother to specify an intel chip (if available at all).
