My idea is he's doing this because he feels he doesn't get enough praise and recognition. Asahi is a project that takes a lot of work and time, but at the end, it's not something the ultimately many people will care about.
If you buy M1 for work, chances are you won't be interested in fiddling with a half-broken, shitty Linux made by a few unhinged online people, because why would you? MacOS, while being well, MacOS, is right here and it works.
And if you are Linux nerd who would like to install it and mess around it for a few days to write a blogpost about it on your personal website, chances are you won't buy an overpriced Appleshit just for that. This leaves people who already have this machine and want to install Asahi for the sake of installing it.
As cool as the idea of having a fully working ARM Linux machine is, marcan is not a next Torvalds by doing it. And judging by the entitlement that oozes from his posts, he seems to think very, very highly of himself and his project. But people treat Asahi as a neat factoid to read on HackerNews while the Docker is shitting itself at work rather than a next revolution in computing and he's tarding out because of this.

OH MY GOD LOL HE WANTED TO DO IT IN THE OS ITSELF TOO
