If the author wants us to discuss the point he should get to it faster rather than droning on about apple stock and product pipelines.

300 words isn't so much that it's cumbersome to read, but it definitely primed me to think that his point was somehow specific to apple and investing when it wasn't at all. I'm not surprised that people have decided to nitpick it.

Yes but instead of nitpicking to criticize maybe we could use the same skill to filter out the bad parts and get to the good parts. I'm not saying I agree with the way the author presented the information, he thought it was the best way but that doesn't mean I have to completely ignore what he wrote based on that fact. It's pretty obvious to see in this post the relevant part to HN.
