And no one could ever accuse Apple of bloated prices :-).

: Apple/Mac would have been better off now if they had publicized 
: their code earlier so more software would be available.

Apple sent me boxes of documentation describing the user interface
guidelines, toolbox and quickdraw calls, etc... A few months later they
sent me an actual Mac. Months later it became available to the public. 
This was 1984, MS-Windows was not available for PCs. How did Apple fail 
to get information to developer early enough?
