I'm not looking to argue, but this is my take:

They're going to keep making it more and more difficult for the average consumer to step outside of the Apple-intended vision (as they have with Gatekeeper, SIP, and removing kernel extension support), but I really don't think they would be stupid enough to fully close the ecosystem.

A lot of their MacBook Pro and Mac Pro sales comes from corporate hardware refreshes. If a company can't get their proprietary software working because of arbitrary restrictions, they're going to buy a Windows device next time.

They already have something in place for that, it's called the Apple Developer Enterprise Program

They've got a plan to build the wall around MacOS and they're executing it, it's not going to be an overnight thing, but it's coming

Well, shit. It's a good thing that I don't use a Mac unless it's forced upon me.
