This reminds me of the time Apple had the audacity to step up and compete against Motorola, Ericsson, and Nokia (at the time collectively referred to as MEN, all giants in the cellular telecom industry), creating iPhone.
Sure, but Apple had Steve Jobs back then. Apple IS Steve Jobs. There has been
nothing originally revolutionary at Apple since.
Wait, what about M1 I hear you say. Pfft, it's simply a beefed up A-series chip, which is all Steve, and the idea of using them in Macs was tossed up before he left. There's high quality hardware engineering in them, and the hardware team should take a bow, but nothing revolutionary that wasn't actually Steve.
And yes, the entire new MBPs are awesome, but in reality, the genius of them is merely undoing all the bad design mistakes from 2016-2020, and there's nothing in them that we all weren't begging for for all these years. It actually took Apple swallowing it's pride to finally make the changes that any one of us could have oversaw. The customers provided the wish list, Apple merely listened for once. Zero genius in it.
And yet, we are still putting up with horrendously poor software quality control. Can we please, please, simple have a macOS release that doesn't introduce any new features, but merely fixes all the stupid bugs.
If there really is a revolutionary and brilliant, game changing Apple car, then I will eat my words. But until it appears, it's all hot air and wishful thinking.
The biggest problem with Apple is that it focusses too much on profits first, product second. Thus there are a lot of big design decisions that revolve around sneakily maximising profits and sales, rather than maximising user experience first and letting the resulting profits flow. A dangerous game to play in the long term.
