I’ve built my product career working on projects that present risks to the status quo for companies.

This isn’t unique to Apple. Not to defend them specifically, but a company willing to focus on long term is the exception.

Most companies have leaders that are given goals that constrain them to short term gains. It drives truly suboptimal long-term decision making, but it also usually aligns with their incentives.

Changing that view takes (1) an existential threat, (2) a lot of data, and (3) a team that can execute quickly and reliably once a window opens.
