No. They buy Apple & Nintendo because of brand loyalty and their social significance.

Have you not seen how deranged they get about those companies products? Nintendo fans lose their minds if someone dare criticize a Mario, Metroid, and especially Zelda games.

Apple fanatics think every new product is a revolution even though some other company or organization has usually already beat them to the punch.

Further, Windows, PS5, & Xbox are are not their only competition. And even then, they are enshitiffied now but that doesn't explain Nintendo and Apple fans behavior before those competitors became this way.

You're overreacting to other people's social media overreactions. I'm talking about the actual products they sell.
