they literally don't have ways to use the profits to make more successful tech products

And yet they haven’t updated their pro line since 2012. And the quality of OSX is slipping badly. If they are really bereft of ideas, spending a few billion on fixing bugs (instead of the animated poop icon) might keep them occupied until inspiration strikes

But these are subjective measures (to which I happen to agree with you). It's not as if they aren't investing in their products.
