If you're trying to passive-aggressively imply my comment is a logical fallacy, I would counter with another one and say I think that's a false equivalence, as there is scientific data that shows quality of a product (which I am defining in this context as not thinking it is "one of the worst UI experiences") can in fact influence sales.
I also qualified my comment with "may suggest" so as to not imply it as some kind of unfounded fact.
First, you're conflating one UI option in the product with the entire product. It could be that 28 million users are using the list-based view.
Second, you're implying that high sales of a product are correlated with quality. This isn't true: high sales are a result of demand and available options, as well as target audience. In Apple's case, because users don't buy a specific product from Apple, but rather buy into the entire ecosystem, Apple users don't typically have the choices that other users have. So it's perfectly viable that they would want the Apple Music integration and the iMessage integration, but hate the UI of the launcher.
Finally, the 'may suggest' phrasing doesn't sound like good faith, but rather a sarcastic quip, which is why I suspect you've been voted down.
This type of comment is so tiring. I didn’t say other people’s perspective wasn’t valid. I’m just offering mine.
By the way, by your logic $200 laptops/Chromebooks are better than MacBook Pros, since they sell so much better. McDonald’s is actually better than Michelin starred cuisine, too.
Also you’re basically locked into an Apple Watch as the only wearable that can actually do anything so it’s not really a free market of wearables on iOS.
Not saying it is a direct 1:1 correlation, but I think it's fair to say there is a correlation. And perhaps your definition of quality differs from others.
