I was talking from the business side and if you look at Apples ernings, they are excellent. So excellent that Apple has become the most valuable company of the world. It is the sum of all the products launched and marketed. The Macs had a few bad years, mostly because of the keyboards and the lack of a Mac Pro. They fixed the keyboards and the 16" MB Pro is selling like hotcakes, wait times are often long. And so far their switch to Apple Silicon exceends every expectations. I don't think the pro video and audio community is switching because of those wheels, which certainly are overpriced, but because Apple waited too long for a new Mac Pro and the current machine is extremely expensive. This all might change a lot with Apple Silicon though.
Edit: after using the touchbar for a while, I love it. For a lot of tasks it is a great addition to their laptops, especially when you don't have a mouse around.

That's a business persons qualifier for success, it's not a product persons qualifier for success.
Steve Jobs spent his days thinking about how to make the best computer or phone.
Tim Cook spends his days thinking new ways to reduce the BOM of the product by removing things from the box or changing parts, how to carve the features into a product matrix to cause people to spend more.
