Things Apple Isn’t Doing

Apple doesn't offer ANY advantage in servers, cloud, personal home-server, etc. NO ONE wants Apple to impose their will on servers, like they do on the app-store, or on their devices by willfully being standards in-compliant for the sake of revenues (think chronic in-compliance with W3C just to favor their app-store, BS decisions like 1 USB-C port on MacBook air that can't even tether to an iPhone without a convertor, etc.)

MOST server software is open-source for a reason - NO ONE trusts closed-source with user data on their servers! PaaS providers have just started to earn trust from customers, but no one will willfully drop in closed-source software when open alternatives are thriving.

This is more a fan-fiction homage from a fanboy than a collection of realistic opportunities for Apple.

Counterpoint: the entire business IT community outside Silicon Valley runs Windows on every machine and proprietary software for every use case, with only a recent and tentative warming to open source.

With the open source option being dominated by Red Hat.
