I suppose the several IBM PCs I owned in the 80s and 90s were all just hallucinations. Useful hallucinations though, they taught me to use DOS and to program in BASIC.

I don't think I claimed they don't do consumer stuff but business stuff has always been their core business.

IBM wasn't interested in PCs, and they were already enshittifyjng by then.
