Lots of people poke fun at me for spending more money on things they wouldn't. I don't care what others say.
Some things people buy are outrageous, even by anyone's standards.
We can joke around all day long.
Heck, there's a company that makes and sells speaker cables for a stereo at $53K a pair. Is it outrageously priced? Of course it is, would I buy them? Not right now I wouldn't because I simply don't have the budget for that high priced stereo system to warrant spending that much on cables, but if i had the money to throw around, I probably would because I'm into high end stereo equipment and know why these cables are so expensive and at least can appreciate the difference in sound quality if connected to a proper system. But to the majority of the world population, they would think I would crazy for buying them and for the company selling them. And? it's fun to joke around because it you think about it, that's almost the price of a nice car for a pair of speaker cables....
What's your problem? People like joking around at other people's purchases.
But $5 Million for a Gold toilet? And does their #$%^ come out gift wrapped too?
I think it's funny.

No, Apple is sometimes first, but not all of the time.
They were first to ship a consumer computer with a GUI/mouse, they weren't the first company to sell a computer with them, but it was the first personal computer with them for mass consumption.
They have had plenty of firsts in their lifespan as a company, so the statement "Apple is never first" is not true. But they are many times the first to get things right or at least commercially successful to warrant imitators.
