That, for me too. From my perspective they basically don't have competition. The only viable alternative to Apple is "do everything yourself with open software, and just accept everything being buggier, jankier, and less helpful, while eating way more of your time". Obviously I'm not in love with that option, but what else? MS? Google? Ha.
If Apple stops being Apple it'll be the elimination of a whole category of products and services, essentially. Just won't exist anymore.
This is all less a product of Apple being wonderful than of user-facing computing everywhere else being an embarrassing shit-show.
