Of course they are. Regular people don't listen to nerds piss and moan. The never ending cacophony of Apple complaints:

"How could they remove legacy USB...."

"How could they remove the headphone jack..."

"Steve Jobs would never ..."

"I need an escape key..."

Except that it was us "nerds that piss and moan" that actually waited for a refresh and ordered them in batches.

Funny how some of you make the quintessential part of the free market - customer feedback - sound like a bad thing.

I've seen a few complains that could be classified as customer feedback. They all came from people that actually bought the product but disliked one or two things.

Comments like: "Apple is doomed", "Touchbar is useless/gimmick", "Nobody wanted a thinner MacBook" are not costumer feedback.

Hanging out in an echo chamber like HN, Reddit, etc and whining isn't providing customer feedback.
