Exactly. Apple can influence what their customers want to some degree, rather than listening. Just has to be better than Android, which is a low bar for Apple.
A cleaner example is Bluetooth audio vs jack. iPhones had both forever, but BT wasn't popular. One day Apple coaxed everyone onto BT, probably realizing they can make a killing selling AirPods that way. Samsung thought maybe this would send a few customers their way, so they started advertising that they still have a jack, but nope.
