   What does the one have to do with the other?   
      
   Apple is a BUSINESS.   
      
   Their raison d'etre is to produce PRODUCTS and SERVICES that people want   
   to USE.   
      
   I bought a MacBook, because Macs have worked well for me for nearly 40   
   years.   
      
   I also have purchased AirTags.   
      
   So what?   
      
   What exactly is wrong with a company putting money it makes back into   
   researching, developing, and eventually selling improved products?
