The last OS update to my MacBook Air left all my Safari webloc desktop icons blank.
I think I'd want them to focus on quality MacOS releases before diving into new software areas.

With accounting, besides QB you do have the more-pricey Xero and the no-pricey Wave Accounting.
And a number of packages in-between.

I don't see a lot of value for Apple to enter this space.
Maybe offer a special free trial to one of them to light a fire under the perennially-late QuickBooks.
