Sorry but that’s a lousy argument.
The whole point about Apple (for decades) is vertical integration, building hardware and software specifically optimized for the said hardware. That’s what Apple is in it’s core, that’s why they’ve been revolutionizing industries and that’s why iPhones, iPads and MacBooks are most performant and battery efficient consumer devices for years.
It’s like saying - “There aren’t any good consoles really. Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo aren’t good console manufacturers when their consoles only know how to talk to other PlayStation/Xbox/Nintendo services and actively prevent compatibility with other systems.”

That only slightly changed with M1, but it doesn't seem anything to do with vertical integration, and rather just the result of buying out 5nm production. Also there is complete lack of models with Nvidia GPUs, so they are a lackluster in graphics.

Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo aren’t good console manufacturers when their consoles only know how to talk to other PlayStation/Xbox/Nintendo services and actively prevent compatibility with other systems.” To be fair that point did improve in the last few years. In the past, cross-platform online play wasn't even a thing. They're opening up because they're competing against eachothers, while Apple is doing whatever it can to avoid open standards with their devices. Unless the standard itself is too big to avoid and not adopting it would put them at a disadvantage.
