Seems like a strage thing to invest Resources into. Minority computing, minority hardware, with a minority of programmers, on a text editor that doesn't need intensive processing power. Maybe Apple paid for it so they could get a headline out of it? All of this seems incredibly unnecessary.

I have ADHD but know medication will turn me into an addict. I have experience and had to quit everything.

It's better for me to live a mediocre life than to ruin what I have going for me.

I've found habits and shaping the world around me is the best I can do.

I always wondered what it is that makes some products enjoy customers with very high brand loyalty and others not so much.

Microsoft sits at the opposite side of the spectrum with most of it's clients being highly critical of it, and passionately angry at nonsense, except in the case of XBox, other gaming consoles also seem to enjoy very high brand loyalty; I also see it with GNOME.

Marketing/psychology tricks.

Apple has convinced people that wearing their products give them "uniqueness". Tesla has something similar, but with "change the world".

You will hear other excuses that are more tangible, but those are the brain listing features that have little to do with why someone bought it.

Apples poor record on privacy, security, performance, and ease of use should all be stark reminders that marketing sells products.

Meanwhile inequality and poverty are skyrocketing in wealthy countries that have more than enough for everybody.

Also job and food insecurity.

I urge you not to use food insecurity in argument. Even outside food stamps, food is extremely affordable to eat perfectly healthy. If nothing else it's an education issue, not a food issue.

No comment on job security or wealth inequality.
