Really this video seems more like a statement that having a monopoly nullifies a company's incentive to care for the quality of their product (not like that really needs much elucidation).

Well, Apple has a monopoly on Apple customers, and their recent products sure seem to have been the result of a nullified incentive to care for quality, so that seems like a fair assessment.

To whatever extent Apple has a monopoly on Apple customers, the same can be said for essentially every other company, making this a meaningless statement.

If everyone was like me, they would have 0 customers left.

I started with switching to Android, and I'm now typing this on an Asus running elementary OS after a regretful MacBook Pro buy.

They're not going anywhere, but their product are really starting to suck, and with those price tags that's unacceptable (at least to me).
