I never said it's about performance, you just misunderstood. Is it true or not that you can boot Linux on them? Or BeOS, or FreeBSD or whatever OS I can design tomorrow? Or is it true that Apple doesn't want you to not run MacOS on them? You can technically run anything with virtualization, but you cannot not use MacOS, which is closed source.
