how long a history Apple has of choosing "technically better, but much less well adopted tech"
That's how I'd put it. When I found out that the replacement for their 3.5" 'Superdrive' cost $400 (while functionally-equivalent PC parts cost 1/10 of that), I started thinking of leaving Mac hardware behind. When they dropped serial ports I dropped them.
