Jobs died. He might not have been an egomaniacal marketer, but he had high standards and preferred to trash projects than to release anything that didn't meet those standards. It sometimes had consequence (lack of fans in the Mac III, iphone 4 antenna issues) but overall Apple products during his era were really innovative (other companies stuff that never made it into the market doesn't count) and really, really good. It all went to hell in the yeas since his death though. People can say whatever they want, seeing how things are going since, he had to play a huge role in the company.

Apple stopped focusing on computers and moved all their R&D budget to toys such as the iPhone. This was the main reason for the Intel switch; it was easier and cheaper to use off-the-shelf components than to design entire systems centered around the particular architecture of a chip. OS X started declining with Snow Leopard (despite what most people think, Snow Leopard's "optimizations" consisted solely of the removal of PowerPC code and designable.nib files that were "accidentally" left over in Leopard).
Apple hasn't been a computer company since 2005. They've been a fashion accessory company since then.

MacOS 10.7, then 10.10.
Also iOS becoming the new cash cow, completing taking away apple's and developers' eyes off macOS as a platform.
That completely killed macOS. It barely has any exclusive software now. There is some windows cross platform software that runs much worse on macOS and there are Linux tools which run much worse on macOS because GTK's support for non-Linux operating systems is bad and nobody tests on macOS.
Truly, the OS has seen better days. The only reason to get a mac nowadays is to program for iOS.

It was comfy when I had a 2006 iMac around 2008. Loved that computer more than anything. Around 2010 my bitch of an ex-gf (then current gf) was cleaning out the desk that the iMac was on and in the process of cleaning out the drawers had them all pulled out and the desk tipped and the iMac had the screen shattered.
I have a Hackintosh capable computer now that cost a whole hell of a lot less than a comparable iMac, but the process is a pain and the OS just isn't commendable enough to spend all the effort tweaking to make it sort of work. Maybe if I had bought an Apple it would make sense to run it.
I think is right, iOS stole the thunder of OS X/macOS so now it's playing second fiddle.
