And when that future comes, Apple will still manage to fill 50% of your space up with god-knows-what.

Doubtful. Corporations seem to have a lifespan of 150 to 200 years at most. IBM may manage to break the 150 mark, but they are already losing market share. The cracks are showing in Apple only a decade after Steve Jobs died. I wouldn't be surprised if Apple, Google, and Meta are all gone before they hit the 100 year mark, the latter two may not make it to 50

Knocking on wood that we don't nuke, fry or pollute ourselves out of the race until then.
