They did, when Jobs left (was thrown out) in the late 80s. While Apple struggled and finally went under in 97, to be rescued by (ironically) Microsoft, Jobs created Next Step. Apple bought Next Step, and Steve Jobs with it, and it became profitable again. (Somewhere along the road Jobs also turned Pixar around.)

Now that Steve Jobs or the The God of Hip Technology is dead, I expect Apple to become just another Tech / IT company after some time.
