        Sure. But that’s unrelated; Apple is a publicly traded (“public”) company. IKEA, for example, is a privately funded (“private”) company. Being largely proprietary is separate from the ownership structure…

          Please do not lecture me on public vs private companies lmfao. That was the most condescending comment I’ve seen in a while. This is a joke post, and we were making little asides. You can allow a little loose interpretation in service of a joke.
