I don't remember people thinking they were cooler or had better taste because they owned an Apple II.

They very much did, just like lots of buyers of different competing consumer products. As to the image, Apple cultivated it almost from the start.

If anything, old Apple required more suspension of disbelief than current Apple - you bought something that was sold to you as a luxury item but wasn't built like one.
