Bootcamp. Actual rosetta that can run 32 bit or powerpc apps. Airport and Time Capsule. The list goes on of pretty nice software and hardware that apple has abandoned over the years. I think a website like this would be pretty interesting to see all the products and features we've lost through the years.

Rosetta, FWIW, has _never_ been able to run 32bit x86 software, so probably not a great example. Bootcamp, it's not clear that they really had a choice. AFAIK you can't buy Windows for ARM separately at all (it's OEM only) and in any case it has super-limited hardware support. I am disappointed that they never replaced the Airport Extreme; it was one of their most "Just Works" products in its day, particularly in an era when consumer wifi routers very much didn't, and I'd have liked to see an Eero-type product from them (Eero is, itself, a fairly "just works" sort of product, mind you).
