    That’s been Apple’s very successful business model since the beginning. That ain’t it.

        Clearly the business model alone isn’t enough

        Of course not but that’s what you pointed at

          Indeed, and yet for some reason you’re still talking about the business model and not the obviously-deficient hardware and software it mistakenly assumed would be profitable.

              Bruh, all I said was that I’m not in the target audience and that I don’t respect the preferences of those who are…

              You brought up the business model as if to suggest that my lack of interest in its’ profitability was some kind of moral or intellectual failure.

                That’s not even remotely what you said. If you need a reminder, here’s what you said:

                Nobody who matters wants to buy hardware that’s locked to a walled garden that will inevitably be rendered useless as soon as it stops being profitable.

                  I paraphrased myself directly:

                  Nobody who matters wants to buy hardware that’s locked to a walled garden that will inevitably be rendered useless as soon as it stops being profitable.

                  I’m not in the target audience and that I don’t respect the preferences of those who are…

                  Literally the same statement.
