Rarely if ever have they managed to create something unique and innovative on their own.
Even their prized operating system is 90% written by others and branded.

I'd have to agree with you. Their big thing was LISA way back when which was replaced by an inferior product called Mac. After that, nothing really inovative. They just know how to make things look good and also have a powerhouse marketing department.
OSX is Unix by the way - not an Apple invention - they just made the GUI - hence made it look good.
