Apple did things first and did them well and did them right.

Do the words "closed architecture" mean anything to you? They had an open architecture with the Apple II, but the Mac was un-extendable.

Until USB became prevelant, the Mac was critically crippled.

that is the point I made... They did things better, but shot themselves in the foot by thinking they were so superior they could price themselves higher and have closed architecture

Tell that to my old PowerMac 9500, introduced in 1995, with its six (6) PCI slots... or all the earlier Macs with 2 SCSI buses...
