It’s really too bad. There are so many companies (including Apple at this point) that I feel would be much better off if they could just announce they were going blue-chip and stop trying to grow so much every single quarter.

With Apple how long can the worlds biggest (or close, don’t know ATM) company keep growing?

So they’re doing user-hostile stuff like more ads and unnecessary subscriptions.

How many nice SaaS things had a perfect product bad had to pivot to enterprise just to find growth, ruining it in the process?

It’s a low margin business, and Amazon have focused on growth over margins.

The popular perception that Amazon rakes in massive profits is some sort of folk wisdom.
