How dare a company trying to sell more things not target their products at the specific needs of my loud cranky minority!
Power users are the worst customers, I'm surprised more companies don't try to drive them away on purpose.

The problem with catering directly to mass consumers is that the minute some other brand becomes more fashionable, they will jump to it. And if at that point creatives have been sufficiently fed up with the non-utility of Apple products, they might have already abandoned ship, and Apple will not have a code demographic to fall back to (or to keep it fashionable in the first place).
Apple has an eco system, and gets margin on all of it. Others do not.
No need for 2k pricing.
