I think it has to do more with USER EXPERIENCE, Apple is trying to create the USER EXPERIENCE that people in the US had in the 1940-50-60's. About 80-90% of the population had AT&T. You pick up the phone dial a number, you get the person you dialed. Phone doesn't work, use a neighbor's or go to the local AT&T office and let them know. That day or next a serviceman came & fixed your phone for free.
A great majority of people just want a computer that works, they don't care how it works. Hell, I had an Osburne computer that ran on CP/M. Couldn't figure out how to save a simple database/label file. Had to call a friend who did tech work on NORAD computers. Answer was Control+C. Why wasn't that in the HELP? Like trying to learn how to drive and the teacher forgot to tell why the brakes were.
There are times Apple won't tell you the simplest things like how to view on you big monitor instead of the laptop screen, but the hours I fought Windows were way too many.
I still run Windows on Parallels as there are 4 programs that nobody has been smart enough to create Apple versions. One is a guy that had an Apple version but still hasn't created a Lion version.
