None of those are the best product in their category, and all are only huge sellers because Apple anti-competitively privileges them in its ecosystem.

What’s better than AirPods and AirTags? I want them
The parent poster is saying (and I agree) that Airpods and Airtags are only superior because Apple anti-competitively privileges their integration with iPhones. It's not that they are better at the hardware level by itself.
And since iPhones form the largest single company's device network in the rich countries, that is a pretty big advantage.
Surely it's less of an advantage in rich countries because naturally less theft occurs?
