But if that were true, then Apple would have gone totally out of
business a decade ago, due to non-delivery and Reversion to the Mean.

What you need to understand is that MARKETING is what Apple does best.
Not innovation.
Marketing.

 Says you.

The corner that "Andrew" has painted himself into is that if the only thing that Apple does is have superior marketing, then that is the answer to his "what innovation does Apple do better?" troll.

Just like marketing is what coca cola does. And Marlboro. And Chevron.
You think "Virginia Slims" were innovation?
Or New Coke?

Apple is all marketing and almost no R&D.

 False.
 Apple spends more on R&D than all but three companies.

Plus Apple clearly does a lot of "Make or Buy" business assessments to decide on where to prioritize their R&D investments.  This leads us back to his belief that no one company can be successful unless they personally invent and make every last component totally in-house, which is totally absurd and followed by literally no one.  Likewise, his apparent belief (also quite absurd) that every S&T project is always and immediately fully successful as originally envisioned.
Reality for both is quite distant from these beliefs, which is why even his attempts to worship Android fall far short of this vision, as illustrated by how Android handset manufacturers *also* have had to outsource their modem chips to Qualcomm rather than to invent & fab them in-house like he's trying to ask of Apple.  Yeah, hypocritical.
As I said, it shows that "Andrew" has never professionally worked on any technological development efforts ... except perhaps as their janitor.
