I'll only partially agree to that. In the segment of operating systems, windows differentiated and promoted 'home' 'pro' 'ultimate' , etc. They already paved the terminology and more importantly trained the users to expect it. Many users after, got really annoyed with Windows 7 ultimate being upgraded to only win 10 pro. So in the case of Microsoft Windows, superior means something different than Apples IOS where superior means less (removing of the physical escape key, audio ports etc).

Apple is a great example of a "luxury computer". Their machines are solid, have decent battery life and don't bother with gimmicks like touchscreens which bring ambiguity to the UI (tooltip shows when you hover, but you can't do that via the touchscreen, only by dragging a pointer through a trackpad - argh). Their most recent bold move was the touchbar, that brought in fingerprint scanning and set of soft keys (esc included) that vary according to the task you are trying to accomplish. The lack of a physical esc key doesn't bother me at all.
