> But ultimately the people outside the company who said it was a poor move from a user POV turned out to be right. Survivor bias? I'm sure there were people outside the company who said removing the headphone jack was a poor move, removing the CD drive was a poor move, moving to Intel was a poor move, removing the HDMI was a poor move, removing the F-keys was a poor move etc. Eventually, some of those moves were reverted, some were not. Steve Jobs was exactly right: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FF-tKLISfPE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FF-tKLISfPE - you can please some of the people, some of the time. - some mistakes will be made along the way. That's good, because at least some decisions are being made - when we find the mistakes, we'll fix them.
