While Apple might be selling less units, each unit she sells represents a much greater US$ value. Therefor from an economic point of view it completely reasonable that Apple gets more attention in the economic section.
For tech news it's all about innovation, again an area where Apple dominates. Naturally then that Apple gets much more attention from the tech news.
I personally think this can give a good call for more usable products and a good striving between programmers. I'm curious where we will be in 5 years.
