As many people have said, it's only an interesting question if you don't have the context of Apple market share in the PC market, which spent over two decades between 1980 and the early 2000s in a state of almost constant decline.
To me, that's the more interesting part here. Yes, everyone knows Apple is huge today, but many people apparently don't know how far from inevitable that was. If you had asked me in 2000 who would be the bigger company in 2024: Apple, Blockbuster, Toys "R" Us, or Enron, I'm not sure how I would have answered except that I'm positive I wouldn't have said Apple.
