Maybe you don't recall, but the early iPods were garbage.
They had mechanical drives (much like some of the Rios that preceded it by a number of years), the battery life was terrible, and managing everything though iTunes with no alternative of treating it like an external hard drive was cumbersome.
Not to mention, they were expensive in a time where CD burning was getting super cheap.
Also, everyone was quick to forget about how Apple continued to try to push FireWire long after it became obsolete. The iPod narrowly escaped being a FireWire only device.
Better revisionist history would be that the MiniDisc would have destroyed CD-R if they could have figured out how to get the cost down. It was more durable and could hold 1GB (vs 650MB) at the end of its life.
Or, perhaps, Blu-ray should have lost to HD-DVD, considering all the recent Sony drama.

Apple is just one of those companies for which its fans have given unlimited runway.
The same goes for Tesla, which I have a feeling you'd sing high praises about as well.
Bottom line is, had any other company released the iPod, it would have flopped hard.
The Zune, despite being superior in every way, is proof of this.
The battery is obvious, but they also have a drive adapter so you can use micro SD cards.
A lot of people on Reddit are still rocking theirs because it has a really good hardware DAC that holds up alongside modern high end headphones.
The same cannot be said for all these Bluetooth headphones everyone has gotten used to.
Going back to wired is a major eye opener.

I mentioned the Rio, which influenced the iPod quite a bit.
Nowhere did I say that the Zune predated the iPod.
What I said was that the Zune was a superior product and it failed... predominantly because Microsoft doesn't have the same fanbase as Apple.
Moreover, I'm deliberately ignoring all your click wheel talk. That cookie-cutter rhetoric has been guerilla marketed from the start. It's one of the earliest examples of astroturfing.
Unfortunately, they were really pushing for getting into the cinema market as a direct competitor to Dolby.
Somehow, they're still making Audigy cards.
My non-iPod device came with an IR remote, turning it into a Plex box before Plex existed.
Apple actually blamed MICROSOFT for that...because the viruses came from Windows machines used in the manufacturing plant. My response to that joke of a comment was WHY would Apple be using Windows machines in the first place? Of course, with their fan base, Apple got away with this.
On a semi-related note, a good deal of early Windows Vista crashes were caused by bad iPod USB drivers. Convenient for Apple to exploit and do all their "I'm a Mac/I'm a Vista PC" ads talking about how often Vista crashed.
