The reason I ask, it's not like they were just making "components" like 3dfx or Nvidia at the time, they were making end-to-end workstations. Why is it such a stretch to think that they could have taken on Apple, especially since Apple in the 90s was kind of languishing?

It was hard enough for Apple to take on Apple.
Next basically tried, and only survived by being acquired.
If they had wanted to survive, they needed to buy Dell at the right time.
