It isn't the quality of the service or product that is being compared. It is the fact that when you buy from companies with really good/popular products you are doing so with a bunch of other people and that puts more money in the pockets of the people who made quality products. If you don't like them having lots of money, spend your money elsewhere.

Is that inequality though? I believe inequality is when differences are unjust or someone or something is being discriminated against based on other things than merit or quality.
I'm not defending their position. Just clarifying what they meant. :) If someone has a better service, many people in the US feel it is just fine for them to capture a lot of the market and this isn't an inequality issue. Others think that if someone makes more money than someone else, it is inequality and should be "fixed."
