Very well said.

My introduction to this exchange was not very clear. Jon Gruber was the journalist asking the question about a theory regarding Apple wanting everyone to switch to an iPad someday. The Apple executives listening to the question were Phil Schiller, Craig Federighi, and John Ternus each one a vice president. The fact that this discussion even took place was unprecedented for Apple.

Each vice president responded to the question assuring the journalists that Apple deeply cares about the Mac. Hopefully these executives will get the message that regardless of how sincerely they care about the Mac, Apple's current iPad and iPhone centric developer documentation is horrible on a Mac.
