Why is Apple Intelligence not supported on external boot disks?

I see a lot of people mentioning that they’re still running older iOS versions on external hard drives with Mac minis, and the reasons for not updating are due to some of the older apps that they enjoy being excluded or terminated from those updates. Therefore, instead of adapting, they’ve just stopped themselves where they were and avoided all future security updates, which by the way can, and will never make sense to me because the implications are disastrous. The whole point of having Apple is for the majority the security. So to me when I hear people saying they’re not updating their security on their iOS services and systems. It blows my mind because you’re eliminating the reason all of the money and sacrifices from iOS are worth it having Apple. If you’re not worried about security updates and you’re just looking for Apple Intelligence, I would like to inform you that there are very strong, much more qualified AI systems out there that are available on external drives that are not Apple iOS. It seems to me people are staying with their old systems because they get comfortable with the programs and a program. So that when Apple decides to better it or in some people’s opinions, worse than by updating or eliminating certain programs and creating others to do the job people are hardwired to the past. It’s like saying I want to be able to help the Earth be more green so how do I make my 20th century Dodge Cummings diesel engine run off of AAA‘s batteries. not trying to be mean but if you want new stuff and you need to be able and willing to update if you buy a coffee maker because it has a creamer adapter, and the next version of that coffee maker does not have a creamer adapter, but you want it because it makes coffee taste better buy the new coffee maker and get your creamer somewhere else. Apple will not allow their new program. It’s still in beta to be available off-line from the cloud onto an external hard drive so that some person can copy the code and install it on their programs in their products. And so cheap knock offs of Apple products with the Apple Intelligence code on it. Just use your external hard drives for backup and update your internal drive for apple intelligence.

There is one very unfortunate thing about having the home directory on the external drive. It simply does not work when Disk encryption is enabled. I have gone full circle attempting to find a solution.

1) Boot extern drive, but Apple Intelligence doesn't work.

2) Boot internal drive, and have home directory on external drive, but then I cannot encrypt the volume.

3) Try some hybrid approach of splitting things up, but that is akward to use.

The one thing I've not tried, and I don't know if it will work, and there are some downsides when it comes to reliability is to setup a JBOD that is both the internal and external drives as a single volume. Has anyone tried this?

Also have a 16GB 2012 Mini booting from external SSD running High Sierra - have not tried Mojave on it, may well be worth a shot for updated security, though some software will cease to function.

Has this changed since you posted this? This is awesome but I am stuck on the last step..

Thanks
