I don't think Apple will become comfortable and lazy due to hardware advantages.
Here's the more likely failure scenario:
As their hardware and cost structure advantages grow, they'll be anything but lazy. They'll be more energetic and and confidently push forward in locking down the Mac ecosystem. Newer or smaller open source apps will face larger and larger barriers.
Power users will hate it but feel torn since they want the hardware. It will be a long, difficult struggle because Apple will make it one.
- naikrovek 6y agoI don't disagree. Let me elaborate a bit: Historically, the instant any company has no real competition, they stop innovating. Most will also take measures to maintain their market position artificially; they will make it difficult for customers to leave and switch to a competitor rather than trying to keep their customers by continuing to provide a better product. These are the hallmarks of comfort. Hubris and laziness.
