Apple even tried a social network of sorts with Ping in iTunes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes_Ping

Apple scraped that so quickly most never knew it existed. I think this shows a company that knows what it does well and has the discipline to stick to it.
Except they allowed Ping to get released in the first place. If they knew themselves so well, that idea would have been left to die on the vine rather than having X number of employees working on it at whatever expense.
