People like me are too deep into the Apple ecosystem to ever reasonably leave. Until/unless they fully neuter macOS, I’m here for life. And I’ll realistically never use Android. But the next generation of users might use an iPhone, but they also rely on the web and services from other companies. They use Chromebooks. They don’t have a reason to “root” for Apple the same way I did as a kid. And that’s how platforms change and ecosystems fall off. https://mastodon.social/@film_girl/112955398796903001

At a broader level, this could apply in many places including Boeing. Financial engineering taking precedence over product engineering.
@sgnj151 absolutely. When they let the lunatics at McDonnell Douglas take over and moved the corporate HQ, a lot of the company died. It took us years and years to see the rot but it happened nonetheless.
