The world's firs trillion dollar and three trillion dollar company. Yes, completely insignificant.

The company that captures 60-70% of the global PC industry's profits. Definitely completely insignificant.

Apple has known the score internally for decades and is laughing that score all the way to the bank.

None of that refutes anything that was said. macOS is a third-class citizen measured by market share, and the total sum of annual Mac profits is lower than what the iPad ecosystem makes in a year.

Consumers do not want the Mac. Datacenters don't want Apple Silicon. People want the iPhone, they want Airpods, but the M-series Macs have spent 5 years changing absolutely nothing.
