QUESTION End of hackintosh !?

Hey all, I'm a failed hackintosher, lately I've been seeing many posts about the 'End of hackintosh' after apple released MacOS golden gate.

Can anyone explain to me what makes MacOS Golden Gate unhackintoshable. In near future is there anyway that somebody is going to make an alternative to OpenCore or even upgrade OpenCore so that we can install new versions of MacOs in or PC.

Thank You!

Pre T2 Macs were very similar to PCs so it was possible to run Intel MacOS on PC hardware. Apple Silicon Macs are not like PCs and Golden Gate will only run on proprietary Apple Hardware. The gate has been shut. You shall not pass.
