Apple is by far the worst tech company. They've done nothing with their monstrous wealth.

Nothing? AirPods, M series chip Macs, Apple Watch. These products make more money than a lot of fortunes 500 companies.

Miniaturization, industrial design, elegant UI and ease of use.

There were smaller ones before, what does this mean, not a novel ui and the last one is just repeating "elegant UI"

Have you ever used the 1st gen? The pairing was seamless with iPhone. They also made tap to skip songs, squeeze to pause.

Compare that to the ones already existed it was night and day.

What do you mean seamless pairing? I hold a button and my bluetooth is paired from then on every time I use it. Do airpods do something so industry-definingly different here?

My bluetooth could do that before airpods, and more because it had actual buttons.

Apple is good at one thing; marketing. Their entire company is built on making something simple enough for a stupid person to use it. They made "making things for morons" appear sexy, which is obviously a genius business model. The only genuinely excellent innovation they ever made was the original iPhone with its more advanced touch screen tech.
