  That's incredibly short sighted. This way they will lose many of their pro users which might not matter. But then they will tell their friends when asked what to buy to not get a Apple computer. I believe pro users is what made Apple big and it's a large part of what their success stand on.

  I think - sadly - you're right about this. There doesn't seem to be anyone at Apple speaking for creatives any more. Certainly no one who gets really excited about working with musicians, artists, film directors, and so on, almost as an equal. Cook has the mindset of an accountant who is a media and trinket consumer, not the mindset of an inventor with creative aspirations. Likewise the rest of the executive team. To be fair, there aren't many people like that around. But it would cost Apple virtually nothing to host some product focus groups with creative talent to ask "What do you want...?"

    Totally agree. It's like the company actually decided to stop standing for something real.
