Never heard of the bathtub curve then?

No! Thought not!
No, I haven't. And I honestly couldn't care less about some random theoretical curve.

I only ever bought one Apple computer new, an Apple iMac DVSE (well two if you include the iPod Touch!). Since then I have had a series of second hand Apple laptops, all of which still work.
If that's your sole exposure to Apple products, then I don't think you've got anywhere near enough practical experience, trying to fob me off with some theoretical curve won't cut it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Apple products are perfect. But I think you need to understand that a lot more effort goes into them than your average laptop/desktop which is just made up from a bunch of third party components picked off the shelf and held together with a whole ton of mandatory drivers you need to install to make it work.

Anyhow, look, I don't want this to turn ugly, so shall we agree to disagree ?
