Both the tech-bro and the media production audience are now a rounding error of a rounding error for Apple. It is a consumer luxury brand first and foremost, and it derives 99% of net income from that. Catering to dorks in basements is a tiny legacy business and the support level for it is commensurate. (It probably actually only exists because Apple has its own share of dorks in basements.)

It's not just that tech people are customers, it's that ten other customers will look at what the tech people are carrying and assume they're the ones to know what's good. And developers write code for the platform they actually use first. And spend time fixing the problems with that platform that are keeping other people from using it. Then more non-developers switch to it because it's improving.
