Intel's demise is fairly well-understood; their CPU designs were fine, but the DUV Intel-fabbed silicon was not. Their recalcitrance towards EULV nodes meant that they were never going to remain competitive for the market segment they appealed to.

Apple's failure to improve the Mac seems pretty straightforward looking at their profit breakdowns. The Mac really is not ever their priority.

Sure, but why? Why the company that was on the fab forefront for decades and participated in EUV research was reluctant to bet on it?

iOS very much is and it's a disaster as well.
