Except they are uniquely brilliant. Several world changing products to their name even before becoming the worlds most profitable company in the history of humanity.

That’s not overstating things either.

Love ‘em or hate ‘em, apple has knocked a few out of the park in ways nobody else has been able to. With style, with panache.

You could have said the same about Microsoft, word for word, in the 90s. Similar arguments for Amazon, IBM, Oracle and others too. I even listed several world changing achievements for Nokia in the post you're refuting (if it wasn't for GSM there wouldn't even be an iPhone)

what's more, Microsoft still dominate Apple for desktop OSs and Google still dominate Apple for mobile OSs too.

Apple have made some quality products but they're not uniquely brilliant.
