Apple is for women, MicroSoft is for men, distros are for punks.
You don't even like Winblows, though, you hack it to pieces to make it conform to your standards. You haven't gotten 11, yet. You block
updates, you turn it into a faux Linux machine in a sense, a sleeker
NT setup than is installed by default. Nothing particularly wrong
with it, I guess (kind of like Russell's Gentoo setup, weird but
functional), but I'm not a punk for using Mint, it's a kick-ass system
for a computer like I have, and how I use it.
1. Apple marketing is brilliant
2. Apple customers are a special type of gullible person
3. Apple marketing appeals to the most ignorant & most scared people
In reality, Apple is like Big Tobacco and Big Soda in that they groom specifically gullible customers to believe in the sugar water they sell.

For example, the iPhone owners care about blue versus green bubbles,
because, to them, it's a status symbol - just like the YELLOW! phone is.

If you look at Apple's description of release content, it's all emoji.
The Apple customer, in general, is a herd animal easily fooled with
gimmicks such as biometric locks (which by all counts are just a gimmick).
The reason people buy Apple products is they're scared and Apple sells them with brilliant marketing that a yellow phone with emoji makes them safer!
