Personally, I was shocked that they did the thing that people have been asking them to do for years. I expected them to continue to dig their heels in and ship another halfstep / half-assed measure.

Has been done before by whom and for what?

Say, the particular case could have been a failure because of Android not being a very good desktop OS, or the hardware being too weak. I can't think of a precedent though, even such.

Deemed impractical by whom and for what?

Say, if it was a braindead monkey or an Apple fanboy, then irrelevant.

You guys sure display a crazy obsession with "Apple Fanboys" in this sub… The amount of Applephobia… Phew! As if the new release had you all flustered or something…

Gotta take a bite and taste the Apple at some point!

Can’t stay in the closet forever, ya know?
