>Consider that Apple is more than 5% of America's entire GDP, and 1% of the world's entire GDP.

When you put it like that it really does bring Apple's dominance into sharp relief.

It's a bit off, based off 2018 numbers they're a little over 1% of the US GDP and a little over 0.3% of the world's GDP. Could be more off, since I don't know where their products that are both made and sold in other countries are counted. Still insane that they could be close to a whole number percentage though, especially with their (relatively) limited product line.

It's weird to compare unlike things.

(the only attribute of apple that is 5% of US GDP is market cap.)
