Apple gets this better than any other company IMO.

You literally pay a premium to be bothered less than the alternatives.

I get your point but my Apple devices (Macs, iPhone, even my Vision Pro thing) aren't exactly "calm" either. The app stores are constantly trying to rope me into gacha games or promote some subscription wellness platform. Apple News subscription is floating click-bait Hollywood articles no matter how much I tap the thumbs down. Maps clutters my commute with suggested places and guides. Don't get me started on Podcasts and Music showing me topics and genres it's bizarrely certain I want to listen to.
