> The more Apple talks and moves like other big tech companies [...]

My brother Apple is a $3.5 trillion dollar company, and has been in this league for multiple decades now. I don't know why so many communities of people online have convinced themselves to buy into them like they are a scrappy group of hackers/tinkerers fighting "the man" or even some religious movement.

Apple's target audience is rich people buying the latest iPhones and Macs every year.
