I agree that slowing down the upgrade cycle would be one way to regain the trust,
And at the same time people are complaining that OS X rarely has any new features. I agree that iCloud sucks. But I haven't seen a clear trend up or down since I started using Macs in 2007, except perhaps fewer hardware issues.
I have. The Mac Pro is garbage. GPU issues like I've never witnessed before. Sample size of ~30 Mac Pros, 25% of them exhibit gpu issues.

I'm hoping it's true that Apple will move their Pro machines to better support external GPUs. Being able to swap out a fried graphics card without downtime would be brilliant.
I agree that slowing down the upgrade cycle would be one way to regain the trust, as long as the extra time was spent on quality assurance (in all its forms) rather than new features.
Killing some product lines would be another (though be prepared for howls of rage from the 20% that found the product useful).
It's tough, though, for me to give any advice to the folks running a large company without their context.
