Is it? Apple has a fandom that makes me think someone with a Mac would likely own an ipad, earpods, and apple tv.

There are few companies that have the fandom Apple has, especially with hardware outside the iphone/blue bubbles that teens and moms need for social standing.

It’s not a matter of fandom as much as it is network effects. The more Apple stuff you have and the more Apple users you know the more value you get from sticking with Apple for your next purchase.
It sounds like you’re using “teens and moms” as a pejorative—i would recommend getting to know some more teens and moms! There are many in both categories who are great!
Blue bubbles?
