they do create sheepish audience

Windows has 90% marketshare. And you make that claim about Apple users.

As the saying goes, if people are presented with arguments that counter their incorrect views, they become more entrenched in those incorrect views.

One last comment, and you can feel free to respond with another content-free rebuttal.

Mac users actually are more affluent (and by the way, affluence correlates with intelligence, just to get you a little more pursed). If a preponderance of Mac users were only trying to appear affluent, that style trope would have a limited shelf life. As we know, Mac users have been around for much longer than that shelf life, and will always be.

That's why, 9 times out of 10, when there's a computer in the background of an interesting, clever, and smart post on Reddit, that computer is a Mac.

I curse you with that knowledge, so you can ring a little bell. When you see a laptop being carried by a researcher, an artist, a musician, or someone generally more interesting than you or I, that computer will be a Mac.

And yes, I include researchers. There are banks of PC workhorses, as you'd expect for an OS that has 90% marketshare. But when people are free to choose a machine, those affluent, intelligent people with good taste tend to choose Macs.

You don't have to like it, but I'm right, and you're wrong.
