> Apple hard ware isn’t that expensive and the software isn’t particularly great

You're clearly not in the loop. Apple hardware in general is significantly more expensive than the equivalent with other hardware manufacturers. Often with not a lot of innovation, if at all. They do have a much simplified UI, and Things Just Work(TM), but outside that their hardware is mostly mediocre. There is obviously always exceptions to the rule, and in my opinion those are Apple M1 (which is only relatively recent), and their track pads.

I'm an Apple investor, and honestly things like this don't make a dent in Apple's coffers. It's not gonna affect their stock price. To even imply otherwise is ridiculous. The majority of Apple buyers are average Joes and Janes who don't really want to do this whole VM thing. They barely care enough to run a VM for docker support. Outside those, there's also the average Joe and Jane who barely understand what a VM is.
