Hardware companies are bad at making software, and the corollary, software companies are bad at making hardware.

I feel like there's an opportunity for a joke here somewhere along the lines of hardware companies being really terrible at writing software, while software companies being just a normal amount of terrible at writing software.
A few attempts with chstgpt managed it: "Hardware companies writing software is like watching a train wreck in slow motion. Software companies? They just crash at regular speed."
Which is why NVIDIA is king of the world, they are good at both hardware and software.
In the middle you have Apple that is getting better at making certain kinds of hardware, worse at some hardware and definitely worse in software.
