Apple IIGS - Wikipedia
"The IIGS clock speed was intentionally limited below the maximum for the 65C816 so the system would not outperform the Macintosh.[2] The IIGS outsold all other Apple products, including the Macintosh, during its first year in production.[citation needed] Apple ceased IIGS production in December 1992. "
It may have been limited, but people didn't mind it one bit. Maybe now it knows, people might have regretted it, but if there were happy what's to worry?
In fact today and in the past, Intel did the same thing to its chips, but we never have any issues over that.
It was a nice system, a good computer next to the Atari ST and Commodore Amiga 500.Apple IIGS - Wikipedia
