you really need to acknowledge that B&m stores have been critical to apple becoming the worlds most profitable company.

Why do I need to acknowledge that? That's not a knowable thing.

In fact, I'd argue that they're the most profitable company IN SPITE of B&M stores.

My evidence is clear: ALL OTHER BUSINESSES on the "most profitable list" do not have B&M stores. Proof is in the pudding, the list of most profitable companies is a list of no store companies, and Apple is an outlier not a rule.
