I think this example and reasoning conflate the development and marketing of a fundamentally similar product (traditional vs. electric vehicles) with the development and marketing of type of product totally new to Apple. Is it reasonable to say that car manufacturers stuck with what worked because they are essentially swapping out the internals of the car? Yes, much like Apple sticks with the same philosophies when swapping out the internals of their computer. I don't think it is reasonable to say that car companies would stick to the same ideals when developing an electronics branch of their company, so why would it be reasonable to say that Apple would stick to the same ideals and process when developing a car branch of their company? And of course, the use of the common word "mobile" meaning "able to be moved" is totally disingenuous when arguing this point.
