Yeah, because a year down the road they might give the same people a reason to upgrade to another box, not from Apple.

Apple needs to ensure that they stand in the middle of every supplier relationship their customers have.

That's quite difficult when they don't provide direct value to both, so the natural conclusion is for Apple to present itself as a care-taker, the only one who prevents the user from taking any harm...

That’s a pretty elaborate and conspiratorial way to say “Apple isn’t especially interested in market segments they’re not trying to serve”. Which I think is true of most companies?
