Any time I would listen to a tech podcast, they'd discuss Apple/its products for a majority of the time, despite OSX having less than 20% market share (and iOS having like half of Android's as well). But obviously since their products are the priciest as well as the most """prestigious""" they deserve an inordinate amount of attention and hype.
If you do anything even a little intensive with them then they wear out really, really badly. Apple has been sacrificing thermals for design for a while now and even if you can deal with the throttling, the additional wear on the parts is noooot ideal.
