What… are we just a penguin and Apple Trees…
For real, though, I wish Microsoft (mojang does…) cared enough to support Linux for BE.

Was it Microsoft that “took it” though? I always thought it was Apple that started calling their machines Mac as opposed to PCs (the others) and the term just stuck to Microsoft because, of course, there are only two options /s
If anything, I hate that Apple doesn’t call their machines PCs, which they absolutely are.
They also don’t call their phones… phones, or smartphones even, it’s always iPhone.
The term “PC” is derived from the “IBM-compatible Personal Computer”, which basically meant it could run pc-dos and it’s bastard child ms-dos - you guessed it, made by microsoft. Apple computers and many others in those days did not run those shoddy dos (disk operating systems) things, but had real Operating Systems like MacOS, BeOS, Amiga Workbench etc.
historically a “PC” is a machine compatible with the “IBM PC” and the only OS available for that was DOS or later Windows
Of course then Unix-like operating systems started to become available for the same machines, and Apple switched to Intel processors for a while too.
