The global iPhone numbers will continue to rise.

Most people just want to text and play games on their phones.
If people cared about functionality, Apple would go out of business.

Only in your fantasy world are people smarter than you not making
different choices than you would make.

Not at all ignorant, especially when it comes to open-source software as
well as software written for x86. Also, remember that an Intel/Mac user
can dual boot Windows, or run Parallels, and take advantage of a lot of applications for which there has never been an OS-X version of any kind.

A lot of college students can't use M1 based Macbooks because the applications needed in their major are simply not available in OS-X for
the M1. My son was in college just prior to the M1 Macbooks and he had
to install Windows on his Macbook (which the university provided to
students at no cost to students under a license agreement with
Microsoft). Fortunately, there are now a lot of non-clunky Windows
laptops available, which did not used to be the case.

You can now via Parallels v.18 install licensed W11 on M1/M2 MacBook.
