Exactly the point. A second 5K display isn't needed or desired by 99% of the Mac buyers. Apple no longer wants or needs to make products for the 1%ers.
The problem is, that we all have niche needs, we all share some 1% demand.
Some more, some less, but when you boil down products or pipelines down to the lowest common denominator you end up with something, where it's hard to justify ANYONE. Not everyone, but anyone.
The usual response is "shop the competitors", people seem to be unaware of the market, but Apple's still the closest.
It's just that they omit things all the time.
Can't tell me the sidebar in iTunes would be that hard to maintain. Yet, you'd make me happier very easily.
Camera Roll, did they really have to remove it instead of making it an option and seeing by the usage statistics that maybe adding it back or leaving it - and LEAVING it - as an option would be a more sufficient approach?
Listen, I'm not the guy who says they should add DVD drives back to the Mac, I know where we're headed, even though I will always need a DVD/BR drive down the road, I accept that it'll be that one more thing on my desk, a-ok.
However, there are some changes, that just don't add up.
Or changes where I seriously question their wish to provide only what they can provide with excellence. (*hint* iPad Mini 3, it doesn't deserve the name after their decision last year to make the Mini just another size product and making it the key aspect of the Mini)
They constantly build expectations, many many many of which they live up to really well, much better than their competitors.
However, the more excellence they show, the harder their lack of care or thoroughness is to understand.
They harped the "only we can..." instrument so much, so they will have to live up to it, yet here we are with a consumer desktop computer at a 1000 USD price point only Apple could equip with a dual core APU.
