I didn't like when they abandoned the Apple II line around 1990 or so, since I was an Apple II hobbyist. But I don't think I hated them for it, and certainly don't almost 30 years later.
As for their products after that, mostly they were too expensive for me to easily afford. I could have bought them used, but didn't (in part because the Mac wasn't made for hobbyists -- sometimes they were in sealed cases). I also haven't bought a used Lexus. But I don't hate Lexus or Apple. Am I missing something? Are you saying that Apple is worse than other luxury (or semi-luxury) goods brands?

Well, yes. I guess that anyone here who owns their stock will consider that a plus. Me, I don't care one way or the other whether they are successful.
