I won't predict the future, I'm with you for the time being.
(Full disclosure, I do still own some old stuff: an iPod 5th gen classic that I won't get rid of yet because it has composite video/audio out for use in the minivan, and a 2008 Macbook Pro I got on eBay for work-related dev stuff, which I ended up not pursuing. Now my 10-yr-old daughter uses it. It really is an elegant machine.)
I'm much happier participating in Google's ecosystem, and, at the risk of staying on topic, Amazon's.
Because of our Echo and Dot, I'm actually considering using Amazon's cloud music storage for my personal library. Maybe.
