Interesting and accurate argument. Is that your own idea or is it based on anything more? I agree with you.

Just look at Apple with the iPhone. Their official online store [0] does not even show Apple displays for notebooks anymore.

Apple actually discontinued their Thunderbolt Display in 2016. The LG 4K display is their recommended display.

Based on a few obversations. I do remember Larry Page's "More Wood Behind Fewer Arrows" doctrine a while back as well as they began killing off popular but unprofitable services.
