I feel this way a lot myself. I've been a Mac user my entire life and feel like Apple isn't interested in making a machine for me. The designers favor identity

  > my learning and growth had pushed me out of the space of the "computer for the rest of us." But I'm sadly not quite ready to leave. This implies that apple started as a layman's computer, and their market position has remained stable over the last, say, 15 years. I'm not sure that's true. While your capabilities and requirements may have grown in that time, I think Apple made a similar and opposite transition, away from a (relatively) low quantity of high power users to a high quantity of low power users. This movement has left a palpable void in computing. You can get great tech specs anywhere, but apple's hardware and OS usability are something special, and no longer being the target of that blessing is a heavy blow. This is an idea that I find comes up a lot, but that I don't feel is common knowledge, so if anyone feels differently about it, or can validate it with some data, I'd really like to know.
