That is not really true. Many people of lower income will buy a Mac after their cheap laptops break because they perceive them, correctly or not, to be the most reliable and thus less expensive on the long term laptops. Sometimes even second hand.
Also, Chromebooks are not viable alternatives for many people especially of lower income. Having to rely on being always online is an issue when you can't always guarantee having internet. Been there, done that.

This is not true. The tiny user-base of OSX compared to Windows is already evidence that most people are not buying MacBooks.
