First, why does it feel wrong?
1. the top 10% get about 50% of pre-tax income
2. they get 30 to 37% of disposable income after tax&transfers (depending on source)
3. and we know the rich have a higher savings rate, so consume a lesser share of their income (US, China)
If Apple didn't sold these things they wouldn't make them but, also the level of marketing that Apple is talking about for AI is basically the new group they need to capture because the ones I just listed are already buying Macs and or easily to motivate with the other obvious CPU / GPU performance upgrades for code compilation, faster memory and video transcoding.
I also use it to keep track of ChatGPT and Claude and I think one of them I can approve tasks with.

The best description about how it became a problem is one of the paragraphs.
"New starters take an exceptionally long time to get up to speed - and that's if they don't resign in fit of pique as soon as they see the special, mandatory, in-house IDE (as I nearly did). Even months in, new starters are still learning quite fundamental new things: there is a lot that is different."
I think it took me til I was there around two and a half years to fully comprehend it when I was working on it. Not much modern training til they figured out they had to teach it again that was better. The worst part is to make an UI around it coding it and it wasn't approved for new projects.
