And many would say Microsoft Windows, Android and Linux are well, not that good, someone who remembers all those other vertical computer companies from the 1980s to early 1990s who had a OS to go with in-house hardware and I’m afraid that’s where Apple has the others beat the integration of the two is where it’s at, parasitically hanging off someone else’s hardware, is not going get the job done not against Apple. or anyone else that chooses to go down the same path, and I don’t mean parasitically hanging off someone else’s hardware.
Those vertical computer companies died for a reason. The Mac is less profitable than Apple's software and service segment, and macOS itself is a minority in every market.
For all the success this strategy found in the mobile market, it's just as fruitless for server\PC as it was in the 1990s.
