I guess the flip side of this is that you look like a fucking dork.

It’s funny because I was you for 25 years. I then got an iPhone and an M1 MacBook and never looked back. The Apple ecosystem doesn’t have competition, and products are very high quality.

Then again, Apple is one of the most valuable companies in the world. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to conclude that they’re offering something valuable.

Relatedly, if other companies make better, less expensive products then why don't consumers buy them?

The customer is always right in matters of taste. Just because you don't like the taste doesn't mean they're wrong about their own situation.

They do…is that belief that people don’t buy other products that aren’t overpriced a part of the cult beliefs? Do you have a passive aggressive youtube video for that idea that allows you to passively be a dick about the products you don’t buy?

No it doesn’t mean they are wrong, just closed minded.

So is Louis Vitton...and a whole host of companies that don't offer anything valuable beyond status-based luxury goods.

You're carrying a lot of anger, making reductionist and polarizing arguments that sound like Mac vs PC platform wars from the 90s. I hope you find a more balanced approach to dealing with the world around you.

You can’t just say that without acknowledging the fact that people find their products valuable enough to purchase.

Nice, this is the compensating I’m talking about. It must be everyone else is angry right?
