I don't think so, because to a very real extent there's a solid core of Apple fans whole will not leave the company's products, no matter how shoddy, no matter how buggy, no matter what. Granted, not everyone is a John Gruber making silk purses out of sows' ears[0], but many folks simply don't consider anything other than an Apple iLife™ to be worth living — never mind that Jonathan Ive's stuff isn't terribly attractive (someone please get that man some colours, and maybe a French curve), macOS usability has fallen hard, and the (real) benefits of Apple's walled garden simply aren't worth the (also real) costs.
[0] E.g., of the iOS i-issue, he writes (https://daringfireball.net/linked/2017/11/07/ios-11-i), 'What I’ve heard is that this is a machine learning problem — that, more or less, for some reason the machine learning algorithm for autocorrect was learning something it never should have learned,' which is about the most lenient take one can have on the problem. I'm actually a little surprised that he hasn't posted that the impossibility of using the iOS calculator is deliberate, to force one to slow down and reflect.

This is pretty much irrelevant because this core is too small to support Apple. Apple very much needs to sell to the masses, outside their “core”, to keep afloat.
