Was it "marketing", or did Apple design and build something that you wanted/needed?

The two are not the same.

The first means delivering the product you say you wanted/needed and you buying it because you want/need it. The second is delivering some random product and then convincing you that you want/need it, so you buy it even though you don't really want/need it.

The keyboard is something you knew Apple would deliver. It wasn't random. And it is drastically improved over the previous version. I'm guessing you looked at it and said "that would be a great accessory that I would use. Yes, it's more money, but I would definitely use that!" as opposed to "I have no need for that stupid thing, but I'm spending money anyway so I'll get it and put it on the shelf because *marketing*."
