Well, basically what I'm saying is that the specs don't matter, the ease of use doesn't matter, and the efficiency of your workflow doesn't matter. The vast majority of people are locked into a particular method of doing things, and that includes computer purchases. What do they see? Confusing system specifications and idiot salespeople who never even mention Apple, and if asked any questions about Macs, will immediately shoot them down as "only for designers" or "too expensive" or something.
I'm not saying Apple will stop making computers. Far from it. In fact, I doubt their overall strategy towards making and selling computers will change much. It's their revenue base, and it's something they can't really change. So they'll keep their computer business going as long as it brings in money, and they'll use the money to branch out into other areas, where they CAN make a difference and actually become a major player.
