Sometimes it's best to stick to what you do well and do it really well. The market for their product is very different on the Windows side.

I haven't used their products but how the market is different from the Windows side? Aren't they general productivity tools?

Non-Mac/iOS users generally don't pay for software/don't care enough about polish to pay a little extra for something. That's why the majority of developers develop for iOS first and release on iOS first even though Android has the far larger market share (https://www.cultofmac.com/601492/app-store-google-play-reven...).

The type of person who is willing to pay extra for the polish Mac/iOS has over Windows/Android, is usually also the type of who is going to be willing to spend more for a better app.

Their USP is their integration into the platform.

How was this for the best when they had to lay off "usually off market" talent?

It worked pretty well for three decades.
