This might be an issue with your optics. I personally know at least 4 people who left MacOS for Linux in the past decade, 5 if you include myself. 2 of those people aren't even programmers, they're just sick and tired of macOS turning into Windows.
The $699 Macbook will not capture any users that missed out on the M1 Macbook Air. It just won't. We already saw Apple try pushing the whole 12" Macbook vs 13" Air shtick, not only did it fail commercially but it gave people a terrible impression of the ecosystem. I cannot imagine any world in which "quite a few" people switch from Windows to a Fischer Price operating system.
