Current Apple software is not particularly good and hardly competitive in functionality with alternatives. That's before running into network effects. If we have to look at the Apple Music client, it's much worse than Spotify, funny that they achieved that... And try to make big Numbers spreadsheets for the lols; it's really not hard to see why everyone is using Excel even though it's uglier and more complicated to get results that look good. At the end of the day, looks don't make the work, but slow crashing software do make the work much harder... The truth is that Apple became greedier they also pulled out investment EVERYWHERE, including their own software. They only do stuff if they think they can make billions out of them nowadays. Most of the interesting stuff are leftovers from the Jobs era.
