Folks forget this, but Apple did NOT invent the GUI in
1984, it was already there. Neither did they
"introduce" the mouse. These were inventions of the
famous Xerox Palo Alto (PARC) group that did these
things.
These inventions were shown to Gates, Jobs, and
several others, and they marketed them. Jobs just did
so in a flashy expensive SuperBowl advertisement to
announce a whole new computer, not just new software
for existing PC architecture.
