No, you have to look at it with a time machine.  The Apple II *was*
a big market, hence a big platform, and, to those who enjoy nostalgia,
that period is forever frozen in time.

It was really three platforms in the end: 64k Apple II, 128k Enhanced
IIe/IIc/IIgs, and IIgs.

There were even more platforms than that: Up to 48K Apple II with Integer Basic in ROM
Up to 48K Apple II with Applesoft Basic in ROM
And always problematic for Apple as well: The third party market
extended the 64k platform and 128k platform in ways that later
'official' Apple II platforms were not compatible with.

....yep .... Apple CP/M, Apple OS/9, DTACK grounded.... etc etc etc

...Apple II or II+ with lower-case adapter, with 80-column card,...
