A Northern-Ireland Brexit solution

If the whole of Northern-Ireland (NI) would be made into a free trade zone. It would:

Just take a look at the keys left of the space bar on a MacBook and the ChromeBook.    MacBook ChromeBook Apple needs 4 keys! Google only 2! Industry standard knows the Control and Alt key. But Apple has the strange legacy from the early days of Apple computing called the Command key. Apple wake up! Linux has become the industry standard (not knowing the Command key concept). Much more user would switch from Windows to macOS if they were not hindered by the stupid Apple keyboard legacy. Google makes the switch experience smooth. Apple makes it hard. Guess who will win?
