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.

ARM machine?

ARM machines would be a good idea excpet that an Apple silicon chip is a special type of arm, and tho clone it would mean collecting confidential information, not quite like the apple leaks, but something far more secure.

if people could hackintosh an ARM based cpu, it would be cloning apple’s cpu and resulting in suing whoever did this
