You know what’s only getting bigger? Apple’s sales and revenue.
They’ve proven time and time again that they know what their customers want and their customers reward them with loyalty and benefit of the doubt. This doesn’t mean Apple gets it right every time, but on balance they deliver.
Articles like this are pointless because they don’t understand why people buy Apple. The article imposes arbitrary values as being the “right” ones and misunderstands what Apple’s customers actually value.
Let me give you an example. I love walled gardens and tightly curated experiences. In fact, I’m willing to pay a premium for them. I don’t care about developers and I don’t care about “freedom”. I simply want a high quality, tightly curated experience. I prefer tight control over the ecosystem by a single party that I trust and have a long standing relationship with (e.g Apple).
