Clearly the market effect working, because Apple did ditch the defective keyboards in 2019. This years laptops are set to revert a number of other unpopular changes Apple made over the years. I guarantee Apple is only doing these things because the market reception of their 2016+ MacBooks has been less than stellar.

Apple is quite the exception rather than the rule here though and is hardly a panacea of good examples of market effects. For one they are the most highly valued company in the world... they can afford to react (or not) to the market in many ways other organizations simply cannot afford to consider

If the market is so efficient, why did it take three years?

  Apple is slow to change direction. The market can’t change that.

    So what can the market change?

      The market forced Apple to change the keyboard design. They were forced to change direction. Just not on your timescale.

Was it, or were the warranty repairs starting to eat into those precious profits? In true Apple fashion those repairs weren't as simple as turning a couple screws.
