Sure. The solution to not wanting to be dependent on Apple's software is .. to use more of Apples software.

Not really rational.

It’s open source. You can use it on Linux rather than being tied to MacOS or iOS. What’s your objection?

Lets try this a different way. Whats so great about GCD that other processor resource management systems get so wrong, that using GCD is the only thing that makes sense to you?

Yeah. Worth noting too that libdispatch has been open source since it was released 10 years ago. I compiled and used it on Linux before Swift was out.
