Yes, I'd say the same for Apple too. The difference is that I doubt Apple will still base their business on iPhones in 2030, while it seems probable that Microsoft will still be built around Office then.
17 years is indeed a distant time. But Microsoft's business 17 years ago was basically the same as it was today. Microsoft in 1996 was built around Office just like it is now. Meanwhile Apple's core business has changed two or three times in that same period.
MS has been stuck with the same major product for decades, and they show no signs of that changing.
