The top player in the PC space, Lenovo, maintains about a 20% share. So Apple is not doing so badly at 10%. They are a top-5 computer manufacturer by share.

In the most recent financial data I could find, Lenovo reported total company revenue of almost $13 billion, and Apple reported Mac-only revenue of just over $5 billion. So again: not the leader but doing a lot more than just surviving in the PC space.

Revenue is an iffy yardstick anyway. If you're the only player who is squeezing blood from that stone, it is not to the credit of the other players that they're squeezing harder. Apple still capture almost all profits in the sector, they take the meat and leave bones to the others. If there were more meat, they would be taking it, but there isn't.
