I think you tried rather desperate to handwave over the fact that Apple price-gouges their laptops. Their entry-level prices for anaemic 8GB laptops to the small fortunes they charge to update (doesn't even count as an upgrade) their RAM beyond 8GB is nothing but price gouging. You can't hide the fact that Apple charges more for 16GB of RAM than what it costs to buy a full blown PC with 16GB of RAM.

It seems like you must have misread or misunderstood what I said. I explicitly acknowledged multiple times that their RAM & storage prices are higher than market rates. You are still misusing the phrase ‘price gouging’ according to Wikipedia’s definition. There are other common phrases for charging higher than market rates, such as profiteering. That’s fine, you call it what you want, but FWIW the result is you are adding negative spin while accusing me of positive spin.
