There are enough examples since Apple I, where they historical failed to do so, so much of them, that they are only around because NeXT "acquired" them, and the old founder came back into the bridge with enough time to steer the ship away from the iceberg.
The quality cult is even worse among those that never experienced old Apple.
They get so personally offended that they renew hardware almost yearly, regardless of the bugs and software issues.
