    Only targeting new hardware is just a win-win-win for them.

    Hardware partners love it, planned obsolescence is just new sales. Legal departments love it, constantly worse DRM. The development teams like it, less support burden. Marketing loves AI being a core feature.

    They have no competition. There is no downside for them.

      Mac OS is a minor competitor.

        In corporate world, where I think MS makes most of the money, windows is the standard (unfortunately).

          That’s why I said minor. Design companies, and plenty of website companies use Macs, but that’s a small percentage of overall businesses.
