My own view is that the trouble with Apple's products at the time in question was that the company was in the business of soaking its customers by charging way too much for hardware, when it really ought to have been in the business of selling lots more computers more cheaply. Its profit margins were obscene

Yea, Gassee was famous for that strategy, and that was part of why he was forced out. After that, the October 1990 round of Macs (which not only include the Classic, but also the LC and IIsi) began development, and these machines was developed in realisation that this strategy was a mistake.
