You’re obviously very knowledgeable in “economic theory”.......................

Supply, demand etc but most importantly choice, desire. Products that beat the market, and accelerate before competing suppliers can catch up and when they do their response is inferior.

iPod v zune

Windows v Top view, visi on, Gem

iPhone v no-one (it took years for anyone to get near it)

So these examples of apple v Microsoft ( and both made duds along the way) but they were both so ahead of everyone else they made their founders billions. Do say that is wrong? That they should have had their wealth stripped from them?

Both have massive charitable foundations by the way.
