That works only if the product is the product.
Iphones/tablets drive app sales/apple subscription services, if they force a user to move to android they may never return.
Why do you think they sell the iPhone 17e/se? They need to maximise their user base as its ongoing recurring income stream.
Yes - they create new/cheaper products for a different consumer but not at the cost of their margins. Vision Pro may have been the only device in recent history that likely had slim margins (if any).
