Apple has been the new Microsoft long enough, I've begun to suspect the current environment cannot support a new Apple. Joel Spoksky's 2004 "How Microsoft Lost the API War" [1] applies to Apple's 2019 introduction of SwiftUI. Some of the AI companies are trying, but the more favorably I think of a competitor in that market, the less likely they are to build consumer hardware.
