Is the Hackintosh dead?

It’s worth noting that Hackintosh won’t die overnight since Apple already has plans to release Intel-based Macs till the end of 2022. Understandably, they’d support x86 architecture for a few more years after that. But the day Apple puts the curtains on Intel Macs, Hackintosh will be obsolete.
