Maybe it's Apple's way to give the finger to the EU for forcing Apple,
for the first time in its history, of providing what the customer wants.

Just wondering, if Apple doesn't give customers what they want-- why is
the iPhone the best selling cellular device in the world?
 
See what I'm getting at?

 
Technically Apple does not give customers what they want*, but rather
the customers do want what Apple gives them.  ;-)
 
 
 
* For example, very few customers actually wanted Mac computers with

care about that anyway.

That's your bias.

The actual reality is that the vast majority of consumer or professional
users never upgrade their computers piecemeal. They want reliable hardware
like a TV or washing machine that sits there doing what it does with no
tinkering required.

Apple delivers that in spades.
