I watched the first minute or so, which was aboua their stock price relative to Microsoft. Profitability is a huge part of a company’s stock price.
I didn’t watch the rest because I’m not going to watch a 30 min video without a good reason to.

TL;DR: Under Jobs, Apple focused on engineering products and the profitability and stock price followed. Under Cook, Apple focuses on stock price and is massively cutting R&D/Engineering costs to the point they did not release anything really new for years. E.g. Siri that is unable to catch up to modern chatbots.

Sure, that’s an argument for why the stock price is suffering, not for why macOS is in danger. Apple is still massively profitable, the stock price just reflects the market’s perception that profits won’t increase as fast as their competitors.

Again, why are you so over focused on stock price? As a consumer, how is the first thing you take away from lack of innovation and engineering failures that Apples stock price may suffer and not that the machine you are baying is sub-par and overpriced?
