I suppose there is some truth in this. I still don’t think it would kill them to make a laptop that fit somewhere between a 1300 dollar MacBook and the 2000 dollar MacBook Pro. To me that is the area where they actually don’t have enough choice.

In the service industry you achieve customer satisfaction when you consistently exceed the customers expectations...

Apple's "loyalists" are no more than very happy, deeply satisfied customers, and their competitors should learn from that.The existence of Microsoft completely repudiates this statement.

Uh, is it because they make tight, fine products that just work, intuitively?

In The Tyranny of Too Much, we explain how too much choice is a problem, a significant problem even. This was known a long time ago. There was even an old USENET joke comparing HP computer sales to an overly-complicated, interconnected menu in the lunch line.
The biggest slap in the face for this is seen between the Apple and Dell sites. The Mac Pro has a simple list of options that make for a very powerful and full-featured computer. The Dell has a few pages of options (including trying to sell you printers and other stuff) that will even cause warnings that you have chosen incompatible options -- then you have to go back and fix your incompatibilities.
