I really wouldn’t want American Express taking it over. I want it to work with Mastercard or visa.
AE is almost a non starter in most countries.

Outside the USA,  feature updates for Apple Maps can take a glacial time. I suspect the mapping for each roll out is being entirely conducted by a blind, walking stick using retiree with a three legged guide dog. The retiree sends the updated information by surface mail back to Apple HQ once every couple of months. When they have taken their meds and thus remember to do it.

that said, Apple Maps is definitely vastly improved compared with a few years ago, and I would say more widely used than people think, given its default in CarPlay.  

A 32 inch iMac would be 6K.

it would not be the computer for the rest of us. Only those with enormous amounts of discretionary funds.

I think 27 inch is the max we could go and keep the RRP remotely real.

Could we please stop saying “Apple tax”? The second I see that, I know the author has an agenda and the article is just propaganda.

Where’s the article that points out the Google Tax everyone on the planet pays through their ad monopoly, and how those profits (80% of Alphabet revenue) goes towards subsidizing an OS that still
sucks beyond belief. Where’s that article?

Yes it is a bit weird to describe a service charge as a tax. And I doubt Spotify will notice any uptick in premium subscribers via its website. Probably just lose most of these customers, but the extra processing in accounts for them will be done away with.

The freebie music that comes with Prime in my country is not a good experience compared with Apple Music or Spotify. I doubt many upgrade to Amazon Music.
most people I know are on Spotify. Interestingly, my daughters prefer Apple Music, but then I am paying for a family subscription. All their friends on Spotify are on the freebie version. If that did not exist I suspect Spotify would not be doing very well.
