There is a huge number of people who can barely afford to buy cheap laptops now, let alone expensive MacBooks.

Doesn’t change the fact that Apple is the most profitable firm.

It's also a matter of priorities, I'm currently "poor" by the definition of the (western) country I live in, but can afford quality food by choosing to prioritize it.

There's also a huge number of people (myself included) who can afford (and do afford) to buy expensive quality stuff.

I don't hold it against science and bio-tech for bringing high yield and disease resistant crops to market; that shit will help us feed the whole planet economically. Doesn't mean I can't also enjoy organic, non-altered food in my own home. I get annoyed with this attitude so many people have about these things, that somehow we can either feed the whole planet economically or have ritzy well-to-do people buy organic kale. We can do both very easily.

The idea is that those people become producers of high margin goods too, and then they can afford to buy high margin goods themselves.
