Henry Ford didn't invent the car but he did make it accessible to everyone. That counts for something. Apple didn't invent much in the way of technology but they are (maybe even "were" at this point) the best in the business at making that technology accessible to the average Joe on the street.
I own a lot of Apple products but honestly, I like the direction Microsoft is heading with their UIX far more than Apple and I like what Android is doing through sheer diversity (though the fragmentation problems that arise with such a strategy are maddening at times).
