I wouldn't say it's "just Apple" or just a product by them. In every case of someone owning a netbook I've seen, it's just too difficult to use. Typing on a tiny keyboard is a nightmare, and running a fully fledged OS just makes the problem worse.
Apple might have accelerated it, but the form factor was terrible, while the price exceeded that of a mid range laptop in several cases.
