> Apple is a fashion company. They don't care about improving usability of any of their devices. The most important thing is to them is selling a lifestyle.

I don’t think you read what I said, or you are intentionally being dense. My point is that users and the industry have largely moved on from the modular pc box concept. Those who cling to it do it out of a sense of identity.

Do you have any metrics to back that up? As far as I can see they’ve built what is a pretty good platform that still supports native applications for normal people on hardware that is improving ~.5-1.5x every year. Even if I ran Linux 100% of the time I’d likely go with their (used) hardware.

> having an external gpu is too nerdy for a lifestyle of an apple user

I used to think this, but then when they brought arm64 to laptops they brought macOS not iOS. They did that because the Mac IS for nerds be it for video editing, publishing, software development, Unix it sysadmin stuff etc. Even the last time they brought egpu to the Mac the first time, it was for something as niche as the whole vr wave. I could see them doing it for ml compute in the future. I doubt they will bring graphics along but wouldn’t Be surprised if there’s more developments like the tinygrad driver (which was literally signed by Apple, so it already discounts your absurd claim).

> Same thing of having a phone plugged into a monitor and keyboard. Thats why all their products are separate.

Again, what are you on about with phones? Phones don’t matter.
