Then you have artists like Kanye who are essentially versioning their music. It's happening more often and might render CD's as an incompatible or undesirable media.

Don't get me wrong, even though my speeds are only about 50% of spec (gigabit symmetric), the upload speed alone is a reason to avoid any other provider. I'm also paying about $25/m less than the equivalent download on Spectrum.

Going back to versatility, there's no way that AWS or Azure is going to move to Apple silicon for their infrastructure, so there's still a massive market for AMD or other Arm manufacturers to target. For the consumer side unless Apple releases a chip that results in them making a sub-$800 laptop, they're just simply not going to capture a large market. With the rise of devices like Chromebooks in education and home there's still something to be said for Apple devices just being too expensive.

In general, Apple devices also leave a LOT to be desired for any sort of large scale enterprise organization. Unless they go back to their 90's and early 00's mindset, I just can't see this changing.

It's certainly exciting to see the CPU market being upended by Apple and AMD, as well as the potential future for a large architecture shift, but I don't think there's any real threat to market shares as a whole.

I've also bought Zooz switches, but wouldn't recommend them. Inovelli has had major issues with stock in the past, but otherwise makes a good product.

We really haven't seen such a large technological separation like this. At least back in the old days you could still run what you want.

macOS moving to the iOS route where you have to jailbreak your device to get any sort of usability out of it is not a space I want to participate in, and yet it seems that's how the entire Apple line is moving. They're almost the complete opposite compared to Microsoft these days.
