It was unfair to compare 100+ PC clones to Macs. What does fair have to do with it? Reality bats last.
Their are advantages to high market share, and of course I have said before that if Apple made a low end phone and a high end phablet market share would begin to reverse in their favor in long term, and Androids market would weaken and weaken in long term.

They could also allow Samsung and HTC to make one iOS Phablet each (with specs to exact size so accessories- could be shared between either) and pick one low end vendor or 2 to make low end devices (with specs to exact size so accessories- could be shared between either). People don't like monopolies even if won fair and square, and Apple could keep its reputation as it's phones are the best and the Phablet and low end phone are licensed, but not Apple. Why should Samsung, HTC and low end companies want to NEVER have any presence in the phone market once iPhones take over? Limited cloning with form factor specs (not wild and wolly cloning as Windows and DOS did) has it's place in marketing warfare.
So that they controlled the whole warket instead of being second to Android in phones being shipped. And move a ton of apps and win over a ton of price or feature sensitive people to smooth iOS and HUGE QUALITY app store.

One reason is that "Apple" is one company, one operating system, oneOne's a company which makes hardware and software and operating systems
easy target.
"Android" is no such thing -- there are many companies creating devices
which use the Android operating system, and each installation is quite
different from every other installation in terms of default apps
installed and various other things, so there is no single monolithic
"Android" to excoriate the same way there is a single "Apple."
and the other is an operating system that is put on many devices from
many manufacturers.
