The “Apple has lost their way” meme is sort of tired at this point. Saying that an entity as complex as Apple has lost its way because of some narrow gaze of it is like arguing about macro economics based on some simplistic view of some micro example. People do both of these things all the time.

But I would say that there is value in criticism of near-Monopolies which may use their position in the market to extract value instead of providing it.

True. It's definitely good to find a balance. Say too little, and they might grow complacent. Say too much, and you suffocate progress.
