Research notes (unverified)

Apple T2 chip. The SSD controller, audio and audio are reached through the T2 bridge (apple-bce binds on real Linux machines).
Booting a non-Apple OS requires Startup Security Utility (in Recovery) set to "No Security" and "Allow booting from external or removable media".
The Broadcom Wi-Fi/Bluetooth chip needs Apple's firmware files.
No SD card slot, line-in or IR receiver on this model.
