Apple is a baron of customer hostility and anti-competitive practices. Customer lock-in, closed platforms, corrosion of right to own or repair, forced obsolescence. That's how they do business. Is there some point where how you do business becomes the product, and the intended product (e.g. reinvention of the desktop processor) becomes just a byproduct? We've a cultural inclination to focus on the what, and forget the how. But it's short-term thinking. I for one am tired of Apple's how.

Then don’t buy one. Not sure why anyone would be tired of a product they could ignore. Unless Apple and Microsoft are oppressive because they won’t collapse and build Linux laptops. It makes no sense. Just go run Linux on some ancient Thinkpad.

Haven't you read my comment? It's not the product per-se that's the problem. It's the lobbying, the market abuse, the anti-competitive practices.

I sure did read it. That's how you vote in this system, with your currency.
