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.
