You are demonstrating and perpetuating bigotry and prejudice.

Who uses them does not matter. What they use them for does not matter.

You claimed there were no Apple users in Europe. That is a blatant falsehood. Now you have explained why you lied: because you admit it was a lie and that there are lots of people using them, but you think those people are not important, and so you ignored them and did not count them.

I am not interested your value judgements. I may even share some of them but that is not important. The point is that Apple kit costs more because Apple doesn't make budget models and doesn't use cheap cut-down components like Celerons and "Pentium Dual Core" and other budget junk.

Apple costs more. So Apple is bought by or for richer people. Management and marketing make more money so they get more expensive toys.

I am not arguing if this is right or wrong. It isn't relevant. The point is, it sells, it's used in large numbers, and as such it's commercially important.
