iphone was also a hardware product, not a direct comparision.

It's an example to dispute the false claim that 10 years is little time for a technology to mature. If 10 years are enough for hardware let alone software.

Another example are social media, from 2004 to 2014, they were widely used by almost everybody that has an internet connection (Facebook had more than 1 billions active users back then)

I agree, comparing hardware product growth with software product is insincere
