This isn't necessarily true either. They may buy an Apple because they have an iPod and like the quality and don't mind paying more. or they may buy an Apple because they have money to waste. or the like the white case.
Sure, some geeks buy Apples. here at my work, I'll be getting a 17" Macbook pro at some point and installing Windows 7 on it just to piss off the Apple fanbois.
But also, a lot of people who buy Apple computers also aren't aware of the additional costs involved. Apple/Best Buy/whomever will GLADLY sell you overpriced memory to upgrade your system. Or overpriced peripherals that have the little apple logo on them, etc. Or how about the price differences for software...
In the end, people get what they get, and computers do whatever they need as they see fit. Computers are only as secure as their users, and that's about the extent of it.
