Apple has never pursued a strategy of market dominance outside of the iPod space, which they later abandoned entirely. They have historically chosen to foster their identity as a boutique brand, focused on the perception of exclusivity and status. Google, which sells android tablets at Walgreens, is what the company you're discussing would look like.
Besides, post Steve Jobs, Apple is a soulless pr machine without a scrap of innovation to be found.
Unless you want pride emojis and ubiquitous shadow data collection while proclaiming itself as a privacy company, then Mr. Cook got your back.

Those new M 1 CPUs look like a game changer.
They are so fast, the M1 macs are unreal.
low wattage, 5 nanometer gates, read and write to ram at insane speeds, and use ram that intel will NOT SUPPORT in all of 2021.
4266 MT/s LPDDR4X SDRAM !!!! prior to 2022 Intel only goes up to 3200, not 4266!!
4266 is tied to the cpu fabric clock controller at a fixed ratio requiring 4266. Apple will probably stick with 4266 for a year or more.

its M1 Arm chip delivers up to 3.5x faster CPU performance, up to 6x faster GPU performance, up to 15x faster machine learning, and up to 2x longer battery life than previous-generation Macs, which use Intel x86 CPUs.
Its internal disk is also nearly the fastest on earth.
It also is so fast that it EMULATES intel code faster than many real intel computers that cost almost the same. (it has a few cheat circuits for its ARM) it has of course the fastest linear non-threaded benchmark speed of any intel chip.
I BOUGHT FOUR M1 Macs for my company so far!
they're hoping to be first-to-market with their OS for AR
What game would that be?
Low power, high performance CPUs that don't overheat, even under high workloads. Because they have been redesigned from the ground up, Apple has managed to ditch a lot of technical debt and cruft from the past. They can produce the chips much more cheaply, gaining a high mark-up for their boutique products.
