They did not even mention the buzz word "AI"!!! Yet the "Mac disposable" philosophy, the impossibility of a significant upgrade (memory cpu HD etc) and still the high price (the highest end Mac Pro with two Pro Display XDR can reach $66.5K) can be negative. The great vantage of the Hackintoshes was that they were addressing exactly these three flaws. I still use 2 Hackintoshes builded in 2008-2009 (one uses BigSur the other Monterey) with significant upgrades. They costed together a little more than $2900
I also own shares of AAPL.
Back in 2008-2009, Apple did sell fully "upgradable" Macs in the form of Mac Pros. But you still went the hackintosh route, so it's not like they lost any sales, at least not to users such as yourself.
