They had an exodus of top engineers lately. I suspect the hardware gap will shrink in a few years and the software is, as you say, not rosy.

The decline for pro users will continue, I think. Of course a behemoth of 2 T$ won't fail tomorrow

They also poached the head architect from Arm. Now that M1/M1 Pro/Max are out I think a lot of top engineers have seen their project to completion and are moving on to new interesting things. No amount of money is going to bring them back but you can be sure they'll be back in 3-4 years if Apple has a compelling project (like say, their AR/VR headset).
