Via Horace Dediu; emphasis mine:

 

We believe that we need to own and control the primary technologies behind the products we make, and participate only in markets where we can make a significant contribution.

That last part - participating only where you can make a significant contribution - is important to me. Selling stuff that isn't somehow different, unique, or specific to my outlook and worldview is not where I want to focus my efforts.
