We may always anticipate a better outcome.

Hmm, it seems Windows 10 on ARM isn't fully functional for this setup. Missing essential drivers like SD card support and USB functionality. RAM is capped at 1GB, which limits performance. No drivers available, so it won't operate smoothly.

I doubt Apple will attempt to shut down their ecosystem—after all, who wouldn’t resist a 30% discount on anything? Perhaps one day you’ll need to jailbreak your Mac. Imagine no more USB 3 or any USB connections at all?

Correction on what I said: No WiFi No Bluetooth No USB support apart from using OTG (I believe you can connect WiFi/Bluetooth or Ethernet dongle there, not not use the built-in one) 1GB limited The SD card driver is very slow And apparently, (probably link to the previous point) it doesn't have pagefile, Windows can't create it.

You can operate Windows alone, no additional features.

Unless there is high interest by the Raspberry Pi Community, you won't have drivers on it, or it will take a very long time. Progress was made, in term of updating the BIOS for installing Windows. Tools were made to make the install process easy, including getting Win10 on ARM. But as you see lots of work still needs to be done.

Running only the kernel (XNU) and a basic user environment is achievable with tools like qemu-system-arm64. A Raspberry Pi equipped with KVM support could significantly boost performance, making it a practical option as Big Sur becomes publicly accessible. Running the same setup directly on hardware is more challenging due to Apple's evolving policies. If source code for ARM64 targets and Platform Experts becomes available on https://opensource.apple.com/, you might eventually deploy it on a Pi, though firmware differences remain—Apple Silicon Macs use LLB/iBoot instead of traditional bootloaders.
