Where's the love for Motorola? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

With the recent announcement of Motorola partnering with GrapheneOS, I got curious about installing a custom rom like LineageOS or/e/OS on my Moto G Power (vegas) because I've been meaning to degoogle for a while now. As far as I can tell, Motorola has all the keys to be a primary development target: OEM supported boot unlocking, cheap devices, accessible hardware, etc. Why have their devices largely been ignored by custom ROM developers?

The chips in the old Macs? Shit, I forgot about those. Not usable today for anything you can't do on Apple Silicon, but I do have many fond memories of pre-PPC Macs, from the Mac Classic (whatever that run) to System 7 on post-Jobs Performas and Quadras and LCIIIs. Apple kinda sucked when they were trying to be like other PC manufacturers, but I do have good memories of System 7 (and jailbreaking out of At Ease at school, fuck At Ease, all the homies hated At Ease).

APPLE? You go stub your fucking toe. Apple. You go fucking get pepper all over your kitchen floor and sneeze trying to clean it up. Goddamn Apple!! You go unexpectedly read an obituary for someone you haven't thought about in 30 years and feel weird all day long, damn you! Apple. Bah.

Actually, the 680x0 family was and is used in thousands of applications.
