The true-believers didn't matter because they were a cult.
I have a family member in the Cult of Apple. Up to the day of the announcement, you would hear him talk about how amazing PowerPC was, Risc vs Cisc, etc.
From the day apple anounced the move to Intel and on, he did a 180, talking about how smart Apple was to switch, how modern Cisc was really just a frontend to a Risc processor anyways, etc.
