My fundamental complaint is that Apple, as a company, prefers form over function. Avoiding right mouse clicks in the name of simplicity. Designing thin laptops instead of durable laptops. Restricting installation on iOS to just the App Store.

Me thinks you don't really understand the contrast between "form" and "function":

> Avoiding right mouse clicks in the name of simplicity

Simplicity has nothing to do with form, that is function.

> Designing thin laptops instead of durable laptops.

Thin/light laptops has nothing to do with form, that is function (who wants to carry around a brick?). And what is more durable than a MBP anyways?

> Restricting installation on iOS to just the App Store.

Security and safe experiences has nothing to do with form, that is function.

"Form" would be fashion, and Apple definitely has plenty of that, but all the points you listed don't focus on that.
