The iPod was vastly popular, but it had gotten there not for being popular... ?!?
Twisted verbiage aside, it's all about good design and the public's willingess to pay a premium for it. Apple has it, most of its competitors don't...just as Lexus and BMW have it and Detroit doesn't.

We're talking about people who judge a computer by what they perceive to be its user demographic. PC's and Linux users are subject to prejudices also, based on the speaker's perception of "office drones" or "trendy hackers", respectively.
