And yet they become obsolete in a couple of years of time unlike the likes of other products like say for example, ThinkPads.

It's a forced and planned obsolescence and nothing else.

All the required cost for the product and support is already included in the product cost as it being costly compared to its competitors. All other stuff that they do around it is pure marketing and projection to make people believe and have that sense of something super duper is being offered to them which doesn't exist and is unique.

While some of is acceptable, but majority of it is useless or not used or used once or twice in it's lifetime. Except for some professionals.

Just swindling people of their hard earned monies...
