90% of teenagers in the US use iPhones at this point. Under him, AirPods have grown into what could be a wildly successful company completely independent from Apple. They make the best selling watch in the world, and pretty much the only good smartwatch in general. And Apple Silicon laptops have made such an embarrassment out of everything else on the market, that unless you have some specific usecase that requires x86 or Windows compatibility, there's basically no reason to buy anything else.
What else do you want him to do? We haven't had a big innovation in technology since the iPhone, and the iPhone has iterated into what is basically perfect with the current form factor. In the Android world there's folding phones, but materials science hasn't solved the issue where the screens spontaneously develop fractures across the fold line at such a high rate that I wouldn't recommend anyone buy one unless you're fine with the constant risk your phone very well might put itself out of commission and need repairs for no fault of your own.
If the Vision Pro ends up failing, it doesn't suddenly make everyone's iPhone or MacBook or AirPods worse. I really don't understand this mindset.
