Is Apple important? They produces nice gadgets but those don’t seem to power anything truly important and could be replaced easily.

I think the reason they are worried is because Apples luxury gadgets make like 7% of the security of their pension Fonds. Meaning the whole economy could collapse of just this one gadget company can't deliver to the world market anymore.

It's a very Weird and dystopian situation imo.

Indeed Apple is a frivolous enterprise. MacBooks and iPhones aren’t used for anything important.

That's why closed platform is bad. That's why closed platform is bad. It's dead if hardware is no longer supplied.
