Sure, but seeing as how (as a very general stereotype) the “thinnest & lightest” people tend to ask the “thicker & more ports” people for advice on which hardware to get, and considering that Apple doesn’t allow clones anymore, they’d do well to have a more varied hardware lineup. Or license macOS to other companies who are willing to cater to the techies, non-hipsters, and people who generally care about function over form.

When I was a kid, people who did wrong were punished, restricted, and forbidden. Now, when someone does wrong, all of the rest of us are punished, restricted, and forbidden... and the one who did the wrong is counselled and "understood" and fed ice cream.
