This is a 2017 article[1] about how Tim Cook pushed Apple to get more revenue from software services. Recent articles this year add to say that Apple has been successful in this area. So perhaps the image of Apple being mainly a hardware company is outdated.

Even more reason to avoid them i guess, if there hardware is as closed ecosystem and useless to those outside it. At least before they shipped good hardware for multiple contexts, but perhaps those days are gone.
