Because the wow-factor is ultimately rooted in ignorance. People only go "wow" when they don't know what to expect.

Since people here are predominantly techies, it's hard to be "wowed" by apples products. Airtags aren't magical, they're at best a neat application of their vertical integration, and mass adoption.

But techies are also much more aware of the negatives of choosing Apple, like their walled garden, paying for development, and otherwise being much more expensive than they need to be, I think I saw a post on reddit today about 64gb of ddr4 being sold by Apple for 1200$, it's hard to let that shit go even if their commercials look nice.
