Shout out to the unambitous product manager / owner who doesnt want a raise at Fujifilm for making such nice cameras. There is no chance that they tweaked the XT-2 or XT-3 to compete with the also excelent Sony products in order to impress the guys back at HQ.
Obviously they are "technology people who share the same passion as me" and are browsing throught HN.

Except they actually are? If you read their dev blogs, it's insane how much love actually goes into building the colour magic that goes into the cameras. Trully decades upon decades of love labour.
Instead at Apple camp they deliberately hinder UX for end-users if it means Apple gets to make some more profit this way.
The author agrees with you that they do not have the same incentives and have products not directed by Product Managers/Owners who want to get a raise and are apparently technology people who share the same passion as them.
I just see two companies, that want to sell stuff for more than it costs them to produce, but what would I know.
While this is purely anecdotal, I've observed a higher proportion of "mission oriented" product and even I.T. leads at Apple than at the other brands he adopted in this divorce. (He's not using Framework laptop yet.)
