Who thinks Apple is a software company? Because they're wrong. Apple started off making hardware and they've always made hardware. They make software to compliment their hardware.

Kind of depends what you mean, doesn’t it?

I buy Apple products because they run Apple software. I like the Apple hardware I have, but if it ran easily and bug free on other hardware, I suspect I’d end up with cheaper knock offs for the hardware itself.

This. They've become more and more a hardware company as they give away almost of their software now to move more IRL gadgets.

Even they claim it. It’s that old Alan Kay quote, you know.
