Apple's simplified product line is a very good thing, but they're only hurting themselves by not throwing a bone to customers with more specific needs. I don't think so. People seem to believe ANY lost sale is lost money, but it is not so. Every sale comes with what is called an "opportunity cost" (wikipedia it). Making stuff for tiny niches is not worth it if you have a nicely streamlined production run going.
