Following the news developer id Software has been significantly impacted by Asha Sharma's sweeping Xbox job cuts, John Carmack has shared his thoughts.
Bungie wasn’t a Mac exclusive company. They were a Mac first company. Oni, the game they made right before Halo, was released to Windows and PS2 after it was released for Mac. Halo could have had just a big of an impact without being owned by Microsoft.
If Bungie stayed independent, Halo might have been a one and done game and they would have moved on to other IPs though.
