It's a closed system that is one of the most widely used OS' in the world. So how "closed" is it really, lol. It's not like it's some niche OS, Apple has roared back in the US especially and taken back nearly 60% of the smartphone market and completely dominate teenagers and college age consumers especially, Android has been taking it on the chin for a while, and Windows phones ... welp.
If Apple really wanted to, they could roast the Sony PlayStation, don't kid yourself. They're not a clumsy company like Microsoft is that's been coasting on the success of Windows for like 30 years now (Microsoft Zune? failed. Microsoft XBox? Lots of money spent for 3rd place thus far. Microsoft Phone OS? Failed. Buying Skype? Massive Fail.) Meanwhile Apple ... iPod? Revolutionized the music industry, huge success. iPhone? Arguably the most important and successful consumer electronics product of the last 20+ years. iPad? Big success. Air Pods? Big success. Apple Watch? Pretty big success I would say, shipped almost 60 million in 2021.
And Sony lets not even start. Aside from getting lucky that Nintendo didn't use CD-ROM for N64 and stealing their 3rd party support with pay-offs, the last big thing Sony did is like the Walkman from the 1980s?

It is a closed system, full stop.
Your sony hate is silly, full stop.
Popular doesn't correlate to quality, full stop.

I mean it's kind of funny to try and push the "Apple products aren't quality" ... they've upped their game massively in performance and the design is almost always top notch.
Sony would get murdered if they had to face up against a company like Apple if Apple really wanted to make a console and tie it in with their broader ecosystem of products. Full stop. They are lucky they don't have to face that kind of a company head to head, Microsoft are a bunch of goofs, like a rich kid who does a lot of dumb things because he has daddy's bank account to fall back on. They haven't had a lot of success outside of Windows/business back end.
Popular does actually correlate quite often to quality. There are plenty of great products and films and movies that are also the most popular.
