   Apple's only reason for existence is to return profits to its owners and   
   has the same philosophy as the USA insurance-triaged 'health' system: A   
   patient totally cured is a source of income lost. A perfect product   
   means no more income from that customer. Do you remember that Apple were   
   prosecuted for software that caused the need to unnecessarily replace   
   batteries? Was it Apple selling the thumb drives and external drives   
   with proprietary plugs? Is Apple stupid because it has less money than Musk?
